221256 ÷ 74 
Our goal is to divide 221256 by 74.

Step 1:
When dividing 2 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 22 / 74

Moving on to step 2:
74 can be fit into 22 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 22, we get 22.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 221 / 74

Let's proceed to step 3:
74 goes into 221 2 times with a remainder of 73.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 148 from 221, we get 73.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 73 and continue: 732 / 74

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 732 by 74, we get 9 and a remainder of 66.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 29.0
Deduct 666 from 732 and we're left with 66.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 66, then carry on: 665 / 74

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 74 fits into 665 8 times, leaving a remainder of 73.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 298.0
If we take 592 away from 665, we end up with 73.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 73, then repeat: 736 / 74

Going ahead to step 6:
74 can be fit into 736 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2989.0
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 666 from 736.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 700 by 74, we get 9 with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2989.9
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 666 from 700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 340 by 74, we get 4 and a remainder of 44.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2989.94
If we subtract 296 from 340, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
440 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 70.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2989.945
Deduct 370 from 440 and we're left with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 74 fits into 700 9 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2989.9459
If we take 666 away from 700, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 340 by 74, we get 4 with a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2989.94594
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 296 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
440 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2989.945945
Deduct 370 from 440 and we're left with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
74 goes into 700 9 times with a remainder of 34.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2989.9459459
Subtracting 666 from 700 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 340 by 74, we get 4 and a remainder of 44.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2989.94594594
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 296 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

The final result is 2989.94594594 with a remainder of 4.4e-08.
