74993473 ÷ 344 
Let's see how many times 344 fits into 74993473.

Let's proceed to step 1:
344 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 74 / 344

Step 2:
The number 344 fits into 74 0 times, leaving a remainder of 74.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 74 leaves us with 74.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 74 and continue: 749 / 344

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 749 by 344, we get 2 with a remainder of 61.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 688 from 749 and we're left with 61.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 61 and repeat the process: 619 / 344

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 619 by 344, we get 1 and a remainder of 275.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21.0
The remainder is 275 after subtracting 344 from 619.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 275, then carry on: 2753 / 344

Going ahead to step 5:
2753 divided by 344 is 8 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 218.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 2752 from 2753.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 344

Moving on to step 6:
14 divided by 344 is 0 with a remainder of 14.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2180.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 0 from 14.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 147 / 344

Advancing to step 7:
344 can be fit into 147 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 147.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 21800.0
The remainder is 147 after subtracting 0 from 147.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 147, then repeat: 1473 / 344

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 1473 by 344, we get 4 with a remainder of 97.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 218004.0
If we take 1376 away from 1473, we end up with 97.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 970, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 970 by 344, we get 2 with a remainder of 282.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 218004.2
If we subtract 688 from 970, we get 282.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2820, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 2820 by 344, we get 8 with a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 218004.28
If we subtract 2752 from 2820, we get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 680 by 344, we get 1 with a remainder of 336.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 218004.281
Subtracting 344 from 680 leaves us with 336.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3360, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 344 fits into 3360 9 times, leaving a remainder of 264.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 218004.2819
Subtract 3096 from 3360 to get 264.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2640, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
2640 divided by 344 is 7 with a remainder of 232.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 218004.28197
Deduct 2408 from 2640 and we're left with 232.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
2320 divided by 344 is 6 with a remainder of 256.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 218004.281976
Subtract 2064 from 2320 to get 256.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2560, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
344 goes into 2560 7 times with a remainder of 152.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 218004.2819767
Deduct 2408 from 2560 and we're left with 152.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
When dividing 1520 by 344, we get 4 with a remainder of 144.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 218004.28197674
The remainder is 144 after subtracting 1376 from 1520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1440, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 218004.28197674 with a balance of 1.44e-07.
