218765 ÷ 74 
We want to divide 218765 by 74.

Going ahead to step 1:
2 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 21 / 74

On to step 2:
If we divide 21 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 21.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 0 from 21.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 218 / 74

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 218 by 74, we get 2 with a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 148 from 218 and we're left with 70.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 70 and repeat the process: 707 / 74

Let's proceed to step 4:
74 can be fit into 707 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 29.0
Subtract 666 from 707 to get 41.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 41 and continue: 416 / 74

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 416 by 74, we get 5 with a remainder of 46.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 295.0
Subtract 370 from 416 to get 46.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 46 and continue: 465 / 74

Advancing to step 6:
465 divided by 74 is 6 with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2956.0
Deduct 444 from 465 and we're left with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
74 goes into 210 2 times with a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2956.2
Subtracting 148 from 210 leaves us with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
74 goes into 620 8 times with a remainder of 28.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2956.28
Subtract 592 from 620 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
74 can be fit into 280 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2956.283
Subtract 222 from 280 to get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 580 by 74, we get 7 and a remainder of 62.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2956.2837
If we subtract 518 from 580, we get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 620 by 74, we get 8 with a remainder of 28.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2956.28378
Deduct 592 from 620 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 280 by 74, we get 3 with a remainder of 58.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2956.283783
If we take 222 away from 280, we end up with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
580 divided by 74 is 7 with a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2956.2837837
If we take 518 away from 580, we end up with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 620 by 74, we get 8 with a remainder of 28.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2956.28378378
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 592 from 620.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2956.28378378 with a remaining 2.8e-08.
