We look at the division of 284466 by 74 
We're looking to find how many times 74 goes into 284466.

Moving on to step 1:
74 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 74

On to step 2:
The number 74 fits into 28 0 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 28, we get 28.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 284 / 74

Moving on to step 3:
284 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 222 from 284 leaves us with 62.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 62, then repeat: 624 / 74

Moving on to step 4:
The number 74 fits into 624 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 38.0
If we subtract 592 from 624, we get 32.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 32, then repeat: 326 / 74

On to step 5:
If we divide 326 by 74, we get 4 and a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 384.0
Subtract 296 from 326 to get 30.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 306 / 74

Moving on to step 6:
The number 74 fits into 306 4 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3844.0
Subtracting 296 from 306 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 100 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3844.1
Subtracting 74 from 100 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 260 by 74, we get 3 with a remainder of 38.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3844.13
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 222 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 9:
74 goes into 380 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3844.135
Deduct 370 from 380 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 74 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3844.1351
Subtract 74 from 100 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 260 by 74, we get 3 and a remainder of 38.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3844.13513
If we subtract 222 from 260, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
74 goes into 380 5 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3844.135135
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 370 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 13:
100 divided by 74 is 1 with a remainder of 26.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3844.1351351
Subtract 74 from 100 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
74 can be fit into 260 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3844.13513513
Subtract 222 from 260 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 3844.13513513, with a leftover of 3.8e-08.
