We're dividing 74220759 by 278 
Our goal is to divide 74220759 by 278.

Step 1:
7 divided by 278 is 0 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.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 74 / 278

Step 2:
If we divide 74 by 278, we get 0 and a remainder of 74.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 74, we get 74.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 74, then repeat: 742 / 278

Step 3:
278 goes into 742 2 times with a remainder of 186.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 556 from 742 leaves us with 186.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 186, then repeat: 1862 / 278

Let's proceed to step 4:
1862 divided by 278 is 6 with a remainder of 194.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 26.0
The remainder is 194 after subtracting 1668 from 1862.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 194, then carry on: 1940 / 278

On to step 5:
278 can be fit into 1940 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 272.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 266.0
Subtract 1668 from 1940 to get 272.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 272, then repeat: 2727 / 278

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 2727 by 278, we get 9 with a remainder of 225.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2669.0
If we subtract 2502 from 2727, we get 225.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 225 and continue with: 2255 / 278

Step 7:
The number 278 fits into 2255 8 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 26698.0
If we take 2224 away from 2255, we end up with 31.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 319 / 278

Moving on to step 8:
278 can be fit into 319 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 266981.0
Subtract 278 from 319 to get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 410 by 278, we get 1 and a remainder of 132.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 266981.1
Subtract 278 from 410 to get 132.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1320, and continue the process.

Step 10:
1320 divided by 278 is 4 with a remainder of 208.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 266981.14
The remainder is 208 after subtracting 1112 from 1320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2080, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 2080 by 278, we get 7 with a remainder of 134.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 266981.147
Subtracting 1946 from 2080 leaves us with 134.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 1340 by 278, we get 4 and a remainder of 228.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 266981.1474
If we take 1112 away from 1340, we end up with 228.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2280, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
278 can be fit into 2280 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 266981.14748
If we take 2224 away from 2280, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 560 by 278, we get 2 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 266981.147482
Subtracting 556 from 560 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
When dividing 40 by 278, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 266981.147482
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
The number 278 fits into 400 1 times, leaving a remainder of 122.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 266981.14748201
The remainder is 122 after subtracting 278 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1220, and continue the process.

The final result is 266981.14748201 with a remainder of 1.22e-07.
