We're dividing 344969 by 74 
Let's see how many times 74 fits into 344969.

Moving on to step 1:
74 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 34 / 74

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 34 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 34.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 34 and we're left with 34.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 344 / 74

On to step 3:
74 can be fit into 344 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 296 from 344 and we're left with 48.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 48, then repeat: 489 / 74

Going ahead to step 4:
74 goes into 489 6 times with a remainder of 45.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 46.0
If we take 444 away from 489, we end up with 45.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 45 and repeat the process: 456 / 74

Advancing to step 5:
74 goes into 456 6 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 466.0
Subtracting 444 from 456 leaves us with 12.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 129 / 74

Step 6:
74 can be fit into 129 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4661.0
If we subtract 74 from 129, we get 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 550 by 74, we get 7 and a remainder of 32.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4661.7
If we subtract 518 from 550, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 320 by 74, we get 4 and a remainder of 24.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4661.74
If we subtract 296 from 320, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 240 by 74, we get 3 and a remainder of 18.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4661.743
Deduct 222 from 240 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
74 goes into 180 2 times with a remainder of 32.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4661.7432
If we take 148 away from 180, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 320 by 74, we get 4 with a remainder of 24.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4661.74324
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 296 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 74 fits into 240 3 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4661.743243
Subtracting 222 from 240 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 74 fits into 180 2 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4661.7432432
Subtract 148 from 180 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 74 fits into 320 4 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4661.74324324
Deduct 296 from 320 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The final result is 4661.74324324 with a remainder of 2.4e-08.
