We divide 262003 by 74
We want to divide 262003 by 74.

Step 1:
74 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 26 / 74

On to step 2:
The number 74 fits into 26 0 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 0 from 26.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 262 / 74

Step 3:
74 can be fit into 262 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 222 from 262, we get 40.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 400 / 74

Step 4:
400 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 35.0
If we take 370 away from 400, we end up with 30.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 30 and continue with: 300 / 74

On to step 5:
The number 74 fits into 300 4 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 354.0
Subtracting 296 from 300 leaves us with 4.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 43 / 74

Step 6:
When dividing 43 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3540.0
Deduct 0 from 43 and we're left with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 74 fits into 430 5 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3540.5
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 370 from 430.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
74 can be fit into 600 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3540.58
If we subtract 592 from 600, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 80 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 6.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3540.581
Deduct 74 from 80 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
74 goes into 60 0 times with a remainder of 60.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3540.581
If we take 0 away from 60, we end up with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 600 by 74, we get 8 and a remainder of 8.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3540.58108
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 592 from 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
74 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3540.581081
Subtract 74 from 80 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
60 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3540.581081
Deduct 0 from 60 and we're left with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Step 14:
74 can be fit into 600 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3540.58108108
If we take 592 away from 600, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The final result is 3540.58108108 with a remainder of 8e-09.
