We're dividing 310990 by 74 
Let's see how many times 74 fits into 310990.

Moving on to step 1:
3 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 31 / 74

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 31 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 31, we end up with 31.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 310 / 74

Moving on to step 3:
74 can be fit into 310 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 296 from 310 to get 14.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 149 / 74

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 74 fits into 149 2 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42.0
Subtract 148 from 149 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 19 / 74

Let's proceed to step 5:
74 can be fit into 19 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 420.0
If we take 0 away from 19, we end up with 19.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 190 / 74

Advancing to step 6:
The number 74 fits into 190 2 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4202.0
If we subtract 148 from 190, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 7:
74 goes into 420 5 times with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4202.5
If we take 370 away from 420, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
74 can be fit into 500 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4202.56
Subtract 444 from 500 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Step 9:
74 can be fit into 560 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4202.567
If we subtract 518 from 560, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 10:
420 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4202.5675
If we subtract 370 from 420, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 11:
74 goes into 500 6 times with a remainder of 56.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4202.56756
Subtract 444 from 500 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
74 goes into 560 7 times with a remainder of 42.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4202.567567
If we subtract 518 from 560, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
74 can be fit into 420 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4202.5675675
If we take 370 away from 420, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
500 divided by 74 is 6 with a remainder of 56.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4202.56756756
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 444 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

The final result is 4202.56756756 with a remainder of 5.6e-08.
