We look at the division of 247847 by 74 
We want to figure out the number of times 247847 can be divided by 74.

Step 1:
The number 74 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 74

Let's proceed to step 2:
24 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 24.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 0 from 24.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 247 / 74

Let's proceed to step 3:
247 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 222 from 247, we get 25.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 258 / 74

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 258 by 74, we get 3 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 33.0
If we take 222 away from 258, we end up with 36.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 36, then carry on: 364 / 74

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 74 fits into 364 4 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 334.0
Subtracting 296 from 364 leaves us with 68.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 68 and repeat the process: 687 / 74

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 74 fits into 687 9 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3349.0
If we take 666 away from 687, we end up with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 210 by 74, we get 2 with a remainder of 62.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3349.2
If we subtract 148 from 210, 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.

Advancing to step 8:
74 goes into 620 8 times with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3349.28
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
74 goes into 280 3 times with a remainder of 58.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3349.283
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 10:
If we divide 580 by 74, we get 7 and a remainder of 62.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3349.2837
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.

On to step 11:
When dividing 620 by 74, we get 8 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3349.28378
Deduct 592 from 620 and we're left 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 12:
The number 74 fits into 280 3 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3349.283783
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 74 fits into 580 7 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3349.2837837
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 518 from 580.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 620 by 74, we get 8 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3349.28378378
Deduct 592 from 620 and we're left 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.

The final result is 3349.28378378 with a remainder of 2.8e-08.
