We divide 260708 by 74
Our goal is to divide 260708 by 74.

Let's proceed to step 1:
74 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 26 / 74

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 26 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 26 leaves us with 26.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 260 / 74

Step 3:
When dividing 260 by 74, we get 3 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 222 from 260 to get 38.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 38 and repeat the process: 387 / 74

Moving on to step 4:
74 can be fit into 387 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 35.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 370 from 387.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 170 / 74

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 170 by 74, we get 2 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 352.0
Deduct 148 from 170 and we're left with 22.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 228 / 74

Advancing to step 6:
74 can be fit into 228 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3523.0
If we take 222 away from 228, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 7:
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: 3523.0
Subtract 0 from 60 to 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.

Step 8:
74 can be fit into 600 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3523.08
Subtracting 592 from 600 leaves us 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.

Step 9:
74 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3523.081
If we take 74 away from 80, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 74 fits into 60 0 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3523.081
Subtract 0 from 60 to 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.

On to step 11:
74 goes into 600 8 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3523.08108
Subtracting 592 from 600 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 80 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 6.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3523.081081
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.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 74 fits into 60 0 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3523.081081
Deduct 0 from 60 and we're left 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.

On to step 14:
74 can be fit into 600 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3523.08108108
Deduct 592 from 600 and we're left 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.

After the division, we end up with 3523.08108108 and a remainder of 8e-09.
