We look at the division of 229481 by 74 
We want to figure out the number of times 229481 can be divided by 74.

On to step 1:
74 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 22 / 74

On to step 2:
22 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 22 to get 22.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 229 / 74

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 229 by 74, we get 3 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 222 from 229, we get 7.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 74 / 74

Moving on to step 4:
The number 74 fits into 74 1 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 31.0
If we take 74 away from 74, we end up with 0.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 8 / 74

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 8 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 310.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 81 / 74

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 81 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 7.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3101.0
Subtract 74 from 81 to get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 70 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 70.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3101.0
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 0 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 74 fits into 700 9 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3101.09
If we subtract 666 from 700, we get 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 9:
If we divide 340 by 74, we get 4 and a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3101.094
If we take 296 away from 340, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 440 by 74, we get 5 and a remainder of 70.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3101.0945
Subtract 370 from 440 to get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 74 fits into 700 9 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3101.09459
Subtract 666 from 700 to get 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 12:
The number 74 fits into 340 4 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3101.094594
Subtract 296 from 340 to 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.

Step 13:
When dividing 440 by 74, we get 5 with a remainder of 70.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3101.0945945
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
74 goes into 700 9 times with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3101.09459459
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.

Our division results in 3101.09459459 with a remaining 3.4e-08.
