We're dividing 288224 by 74 
We want to figure out the number of times 288224 can be divided by 74.

Step 1:
When dividing 2 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 74

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 28 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 28.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 28 leaves us with 28.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 288 / 74

On to step 3:
74 goes into 288 3 times with a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 66 after subtracting 222 from 288.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 66 and continue with: 662 / 74

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 662 by 74, we get 8 with a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 38.0
If we take 592 away from 662, we end up with 70.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 70 and continue: 702 / 74

Step 5:
The number 74 fits into 702 9 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 389.0
If we subtract 666 from 702, we get 36.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 364 / 74

Moving on to step 6:
The number 74 fits into 364 4 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3894.0
If we take 296 away from 364, we end up with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 74 fits into 680 9 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3894.9
Deduct 666 from 680 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
140 divided by 74 is 1 with a remainder of 66.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3894.91
If we subtract 74 from 140, we get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
74 can be fit into 660 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3894.918
If we subtract 592 from 660, we get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
74 goes into 680 9 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3894.9189
If we take 666 away from 680, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
74 goes into 140 1 times with a remainder of 66.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3894.91891
If we subtract 74 from 140, we get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 660 by 74, we get 8 and a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3894.918918
If we subtract 592 from 660, we get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 74 fits into 680 9 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3894.9189189
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 666 from 680.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 140 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 66.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3894.91891891
If we take 74 away from 140, we end up with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3894.91891891 with a balance of 6.6e-08.
