We divide 74040777 by 285
Let's see how many times 285 fits into 74040777.

Step 1:
285 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in 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.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 74 / 285

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 74 by 285, we get 0 with a remainder of 74.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 74 to get 74.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 74 and continue with: 740 / 285

Advancing to step 3:
285 goes into 740 2 times with a remainder of 170.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 570 from 740, we get 170.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 170, then repeat: 1704 / 285

On to step 4:
If we divide 1704 by 285, we get 5 and a remainder of 279.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25.0
Subtracting 1425 from 1704 leaves us with 279.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 279 and continue: 2790 / 285

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 2790 by 285, we get 9 with a remainder of 225.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 259.0
The remainder is 225 after subtracting 2565 from 2790.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 225, then repeat: 2257 / 285

Going ahead to step 6:
285 goes into 2257 7 times with a remainder of 262.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2597.0
If we subtract 1995 from 2257, we get 262.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 262, then repeat: 2627 / 285

Going ahead to step 7:
285 goes into 2627 9 times with a remainder of 62.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25979.0
If we take 2565 away from 2627, we end up with 62.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 62, then repeat: 627 / 285

On to step 8:
285 can be fit into 627 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 57.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 259792.0
If we take 570 away from 627, we end up with 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
285 goes into 570 2 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 259792.2
Deduct 570 from 570 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 0 by 285, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 259792.2
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
0 divided by 285 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 259792.2
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 259792.2 with a balance of 0.0.
