Let's divide 271958 by 74
Our goal is to divide 271958 by 74.

Moving on to step 1:
74 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 74

On to step 2:
The number 74 fits into 27 0 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 27, we end up with 27.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 271 / 74

Step 3:
74 goes into 271 3 times with a remainder of 49.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 222 from 271 leaves us with 49.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 49, then repeat: 499 / 74

Let's proceed to step 4:
74 goes into 499 6 times with a remainder of 55.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 36.0
If we take 444 away from 499, we end up with 55.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 55, then repeat: 555 / 74

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 555 by 74, we get 7 and a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 367.0
Subtracting 518 from 555 leaves us with 37.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 378 / 74

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 74 fits into 378 5 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3675.0
Subtract 370 from 378 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 80 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 6.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3675.1
Subtract 74 from 80 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 60 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 60.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3675.1
If we take 0 away from 60, we end up with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 74 fits into 600 8 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3675.108
If we take 592 away from 600, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
74 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3675.1081
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 74 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 60 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3675.1081
If we subtract 0 from 60, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 600 by 74, we get 8 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3675.108108
If we take 592 away from 600, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
74 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3675.1081081
Subtract 74 from 80 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 60 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3675.1081081
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 0 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3675.1081081 with a balance of 6e-08.
