We divide 304346 by 74
We're looking to find how many times 74 goes into 304346.

Advancing to step 1:
74 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 30 / 74

Step 2:
When dividing 30 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 0 from 30.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 304 / 74

Going ahead to step 3:
74 goes into 304 4 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 296 away from 304, we end up with 8.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 83 / 74

Going ahead to step 4:
74 can be fit into 83 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 41.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 74 from 83.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 94 / 74

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 74 fits into 94 1 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 411.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 74 from 94.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 206 / 74

Advancing to step 6:
206 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 58.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4112.0
If we subtract 148 from 206, we get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
580 divided by 74 is 7 with a remainder of 62.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4112.7
Subtracting 518 from 580 leaves us with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 74 fits into 620 8 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4112.78
If we take 592 away from 620, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 280 by 74, we get 3 with a remainder of 58.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4112.783
Subtract 222 from 280 to get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
74 goes into 580 7 times with a remainder of 62.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4112.7837
Subtracting 518 from 580 leaves us with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 620 by 74, we get 8 and a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4112.78378
Subtracting 592 from 620 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 280 by 74, we get 3 with a remainder of 58.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4112.783783
Deduct 222 from 280 and we're left with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 74 fits into 580 7 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4112.7837837
If we subtract 518 from 580, we get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 74 fits into 620 8 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4112.78378378
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 592 from 620.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 4112.78378378 with a balance of 2.8e-08.
