We're dividing 220983 by 74 
Our goal is to divide 220983 by 74.

Moving on to step 1:
74 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 22 / 74

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 74 fits into 22 0 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 22, we get 22.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 220 / 74

Going ahead to step 3:
220 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 72.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 148 away from 220, we end up with 72.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 72 and continue: 729 / 74

Going ahead to step 4:
729 divided by 74 is 9 with a remainder of 63.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 29.0
Subtracting 666 from 729 leaves us with 63.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 63 and continue: 638 / 74

Advancing to step 5:
74 goes into 638 8 times with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 298.0
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 592 from 638.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 46, then repeat: 463 / 74

Advancing to step 6:
74 can be fit into 463 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2986.0
Deduct 444 from 463 and we're left with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
74 can be fit into 190 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2986.2
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 148 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
74 can be fit into 420 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2986.25
Subtract 370 from 420 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
74 can be fit into 500 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2986.256
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 444 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 74 fits into 560 7 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2986.2567
Subtracting 518 from 560 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
74 goes into 420 5 times with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2986.25675
Subtracting 370 from 420 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 74 fits into 500 6 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2986.256756
Deduct 444 from 500 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 560 by 74, we get 7 and a remainder of 42.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2986.2567567
If we subtract 518 from 560, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 74 fits into 420 5 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2986.25675675
Subtract 370 from 420 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

The final result is 2986.25675675 with a remainder of 5e-08.
