255588 ÷ 74 
Let's see how many times 74 fits into 255588.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 25 / 74

Advancing to step 2:
The number 74 fits into 25 0 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 25, we get 25.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 255 / 74

Moving on to step 3:
74 can be fit into 255 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 222 from 255.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 335 / 74

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 335 by 74, we get 4 and a remainder of 39.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 34.0
Subtracting 296 from 335 leaves us with 39.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 39, then repeat: 398 / 74

Step 5:
The number 74 fits into 398 5 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 345.0
Subtracting 370 from 398 leaves us with 28.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 288 / 74

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 288 by 74, we get 3 and a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3453.0
Deduct 222 from 288 and we're left with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 74 fits into 660 8 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3453.8
Subtract 592 from 660 to get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 680 by 74, we get 9 with a remainder of 14.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3453.89
Subtract 666 from 680 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
74 goes into 140 1 times with a remainder of 66.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3453.891
Subtract 74 from 140 to get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 660 by 74, we get 8 with a remainder of 68.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3453.8918
If we subtract 592 from 660, we get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 680 by 74, we get 9 and a remainder of 14.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3453.89189
Subtract 666 from 680 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 140 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3453.891891
If we subtract 74 from 140, we get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
660 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3453.8918918
If we take 592 away from 660, we end up with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
74 goes into 680 9 times with a remainder of 14.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3453.89189189
Deduct 666 from 680 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

The final result is 3453.89189189 with a remainder of 1.4e-08.
