We look at the division of 260970 by 74 
Our goal is to divide 260970 by 74.

Let's proceed to step 1:
74 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 26 / 74

Step 2:
74 goes into 26 0 times with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 26 leaves us with 26.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 260 / 74

Let's proceed to step 3:
74 goes into 260 3 times with a remainder of 38.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 222 from 260 and we're left with 38.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 389 / 74

Step 4:
74 goes into 389 5 times with a remainder of 19.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 35.0
Subtracting 370 from 389 leaves us with 19.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 197 / 74

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 197 by 74, we get 2 with a remainder of 49.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 352.0
Subtract 148 from 197 to get 49.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 49, then carry on: 490 / 74

Step 6:
The number 74 fits into 490 6 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3526.0
Subtract 444 from 490 to get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
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: 3526.6
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.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 160 by 74, we get 2 and a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3526.62
If we subtract 148 from 160, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 9:
120 divided by 74 is 1 with a remainder of 46.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3526.621
If we take 74 away from 120, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 74 fits into 460 6 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3526.6216
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.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 160 by 74, we get 2 and a remainder of 12.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3526.62162
If we subtract 148 from 160, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
74 goes into 120 1 times with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3526.621621
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 460 by 74, we get 6 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3526.6216216
Subtracting 444 from 460 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
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: 3526.62162162
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.

The final outcome is 3526.62162162, with a leftover of 1.2e-08.
