We divide 2472941 by 74
Our goal is to divide 2472941 by 74.

Let's proceed to step 1:
74 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 24 / 74

Moving on to step 2:
74 can be fit into 24 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 24, we get 24.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 247 / 74

Step 3:
247 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 25.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 222 from 247 and we're left with 25.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 252 / 74

Advancing to step 4:
74 goes into 252 3 times with a remainder of 30.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 33.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 222 from 252.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 309 / 74

Step 5:
309 divided by 74 is 4 with a remainder of 13.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 334.0
If we subtract 296 from 309, we get 13.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 134 / 74

Let's proceed to step 6:
134 divided by 74 is 1 with a remainder of 60.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3341.0
If we subtract 74 from 134, we get 60.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 60, then repeat: 601 / 74

Moving on to step 7:
74 can be fit into 601 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 33418.0
If we take 592 away from 601, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 90 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 16.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 33418.1
Subtract 74 from 90 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
74 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 33418.12
Subtracting 148 from 160 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 120 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 46.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 33418.121
Subtracting 74 from 120 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 460 by 74, we get 6 and a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 33418.1216
Subtracting 444 from 460 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
74 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 33418.12162
Subtract 148 from 160 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
74 goes into 120 1 times with a remainder of 46.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 33418.121621
If we take 74 away from 120, we end up with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
74 goes into 460 6 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 33418.1216216
Deduct 444 from 460 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
When dividing 160 by 74, we get 2 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 33418.12162162
If we subtract 148 from 160, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

The final result is 33418.12162162 with a remainder of 1.2e-08.
