We divide 254056 by 74
We want to figure out the number of times 254056 can be divided by 74.

Advancing 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.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 25 / 74

Advancing to step 2:
25 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 25 and we're left with 25.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 254 / 74

Step 3:
If we divide 254 by 74, we get 3 and a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 222 from 254.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 32, then carry on: 320 / 74

Moving on to step 4:
320 divided by 74 is 4 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 34.0
If we subtract 296 from 320, we get 24.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 245 / 74

Step 5:
74 can be fit into 245 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 343.0
If we subtract 222 from 245, we get 23.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 236 / 74

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 74 fits into 236 3 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3433.0
If we subtract 222 from 236, we 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.

On to step 7:
140 divided by 74 is 1 with a remainder of 66.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3433.1
Subtracting 74 from 140 leaves us 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 8:
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: 3433.18
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 9:
If we divide 680 by 74, we get 9 and a remainder of 14.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3433.189
If we take 666 away from 680, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
140 divided by 74 is 1 with a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3433.1891
If we take 74 away from 140, we end up 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.

Step 11:
660 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3433.18918
Subtracting 592 from 660 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 12:
74 goes into 680 9 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3433.189189
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 666 from 680.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
74 can be fit into 140 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 66.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3433.1891891
Deduct 74 from 140 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.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 660 by 74, we get 8 with a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3433.18918918
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.

The final result is 3433.18918918 with a remainder of 6.8e-08.
