We divide 213785 by 74
We want to figure out the number of times 213785 can be divided by 74.

Moving on 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 subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 21 / 74

Let's proceed to step 2:
74 goes into 21 0 times with a remainder of 21.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 21, we end up with 21.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 213 / 74

Moving on to step 3:
213 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 65.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 148 from 213 leaves us with 65.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 65, then repeat: 657 / 74

On to step 4:
74 can be fit into 657 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 65.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 28.0
The remainder is 65 after subtracting 592 from 657.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 65, then repeat: 658 / 74

Step 5:
658 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 66.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 288.0
Deduct 592 from 658 and we're left with 66.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 66, then repeat: 665 / 74

Step 6:
When dividing 665 by 74, we get 8 with a remainder of 73.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2888.0
Subtract 592 from 665 to get 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 74 fits into 730 9 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2888.9
If we take 666 away from 730, we end up with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
640 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2888.98
Deduct 592 from 640 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
480 divided by 74 is 6 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2888.986
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 444 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
74 goes into 360 4 times with a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2888.9864
If we take 296 away from 360, we end up with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 74 fits into 640 8 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2888.98648
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 592 from 640.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 480 by 74, we get 6 with a remainder of 36.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2888.986486
Deduct 444 from 480 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 360 by 74, we get 4 and a remainder of 64.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2888.9864864
Subtract 296 from 360 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Step 14:
640 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2888.98648648
If we take 592 away from 640, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2888.98648648 with a remaining 4.8e-08.
