We're dividing 228870 by 74 
Let's see how many times 74 fits into 228870.

Step 1:
When dividing 2 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 22 / 74

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 22 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 22 leaves us with 22.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 228 / 74

Step 3:
74 goes into 228 3 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 222 from 228, we get 6.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 68 / 74

Step 4:
If we divide 68 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 68.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 30.0
Subtracting 0 from 68 leaves us with 68.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 68 and continue: 687 / 74

Step 5:
When dividing 687 by 74, we get 9 with a remainder of 21.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 309.0
If we take 666 away from 687, we end up with 21.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 210 / 74

Advancing to step 6:
74 goes into 210 2 times with a remainder of 62.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3092.0
Subtract 148 from 210 to 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 7:
74 can be fit into 620 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3092.8
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
74 can be fit into 280 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3092.83
Subtracting 222 from 280 leaves us 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.

On to step 9:
74 goes into 580 7 times with a remainder of 62.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3092.837
If we take 518 away from 580, we end up 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 10:
The number 74 fits into 620 8 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3092.8378
Subtract 592 from 620 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 280 by 74, we get 3 and a remainder of 58.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3092.83783
If we take 222 away from 280, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 580 by 74, we get 7 and a remainder of 62.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3092.837837
If we take 518 away from 580, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 620 by 74, we get 8 and a remainder of 28.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3092.8378378
If we subtract 592 from 620, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 280 by 74, we get 3 with a remainder of 58.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3092.83783783
Subtracting 222 from 280 leaves us 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.

After the division, we end up with 3092.83783783 and a remainder of 5.8e-08.
