We're dividing 311734 by 74 
We're looking to find how many times 74 goes into 311734.

Step 1:
74 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 0 from 3.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 31 / 74

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 31 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 31, we end up with 31.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 311 / 74

On to step 3:
The number 74 fits into 311 4 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 296 from 311 and we're left with 15.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 157 / 74

On to step 4:
74 goes into 157 2 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42.0
Deduct 148 from 157 and we're left with 9.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 93 / 74

On to step 5:
74 goes into 93 1 times with a remainder of 19.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 421.0
If we subtract 74 from 93, we get 19.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 19, then repeat: 194 / 74

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 74 fits into 194 2 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 4212.0
Deduct 148 from 194 and we're left with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 460 by 74, we get 6 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4212.6
If we subtract 444 from 460, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
74 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4212.62
Subtracting 148 from 160 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
74 goes into 120 1 times with a remainder of 46.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4212.621
Deduct 74 from 120 and we're left with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
74 can be fit into 460 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4212.6216
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 444 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 74 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4212.62162
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 148 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 12:
74 can be fit into 120 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4212.621621
Subtracting 74 from 120 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 460 by 74, we get 6 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4212.6216216
If we take 444 away from 460, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
160 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 12.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4212.62162162
Deduct 148 from 160 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4212.62162162 with a remaining 1.2e-08.
