280422 ÷ 74 
Our goal is to divide 280422 by 74.

Going ahead to step 1:
2 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 74

Let's proceed to step 2:
28 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 28, we get 28.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 280 / 74

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 280 by 74, we get 3 and a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 222 from 280, we get 58.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 58, then carry on: 584 / 74

Going ahead to step 4:
584 divided by 74 is 7 with a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 37.0
If we subtract 518 from 584, we get 66.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 66 and repeat the process: 662 / 74

Moving on to step 5:
74 can be fit into 662 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 378.0
If we subtract 592 from 662, we get 70.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 70, then repeat: 702 / 74

Going ahead to step 6:
74 can be fit into 702 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3789.0
If we take 666 away from 702, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
74 can be fit into 360 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3789.4
Subtracting 296 from 360 leaves us 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.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3789.48
Subtract 592 from 640 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 480 by 74, we get 6 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3789.486
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 10:
The number 74 fits into 360 4 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3789.4864
Deduct 296 from 360 and we're left 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.

On to step 11:
74 can be fit into 640 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3789.48648
If we subtract 592 from 640, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
74 goes into 480 6 times with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3789.486486
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.

Step 13:
360 divided by 74 is 4 with a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3789.4864864
Deduct 296 from 360 and we're left 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 14:
If we divide 640 by 74, we get 8 and a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3789.48648648
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 3789.48648648 with a balance of 4.8e-08.
