220781 ÷ 74 
We want to divide 220781 by 74.

On to step 1:
2 divided by 74 is 0 with 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.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 22 / 74

On to step 2:
When dividing 22 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 22.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 22 and we're left with 22.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 220 / 74

Let's proceed to step 3:
220 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 72.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 148 from 220.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 72, then repeat: 727 / 74

Moving on to step 4:
74 goes into 727 9 times with a remainder of 61.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 29.0
If we take 666 away from 727, we end up with 61.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 61 and repeat the process: 618 / 74

Going ahead to step 5:
74 goes into 618 8 times with a remainder of 26.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 298.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 592 from 618.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 261 / 74

Advancing to step 6:
74 can be fit into 261 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2983.0
If we take 222 away from 261, we end up with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
74 can be fit into 390 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2983.5
Subtract 370 from 390 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
74 can be fit into 200 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2983.52
Deduct 148 from 200 and we're left with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
74 can be fit into 520 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2983.527
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 518 from 520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
74 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2983.527
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 74 fits into 200 2 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2983.52702
Deduct 148 from 200 and we're left with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
74 can be fit into 520 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2983.527027
Subtracting 518 from 520 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 20 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2983.527027
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 74 fits into 200 2 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2983.52702702
If we subtract 148 from 200, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

The final result is 2983.52702702 with a remainder of 5.2e-08.
