258578 divided by 74 
We want to figure out the number of times 258578 can be divided by 74.

Step 1:
74 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in 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.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 25 / 74

On to step 2:
25 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 25.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 25 to get 25.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 258 / 74

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 258 by 74, we get 3 with a remainder of 36.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 222 from 258, we get 36.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 36, then carry on: 365 / 74

On to step 4:
74 can be fit into 365 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 69.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 34.0
Subtracting 296 from 365 leaves us with 69.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 69, then repeat: 697 / 74

Going ahead to step 5:
697 divided by 74 is 9 with a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 349.0
Deduct 666 from 697 and we're left with 31.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 318 / 74

Step 6:
The number 74 fits into 318 4 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3494.0
Subtracting 296 from 318 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 74 fits into 220 2 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3494.2
Subtract 148 from 220 to get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 74 fits into 720 9 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3494.29
Subtract 666 from 720 to get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
74 goes into 540 7 times with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3494.297
Subtracting 518 from 540 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
220 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 72.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3494.2972
Deduct 148 from 220 and we're left with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 720 by 74, we get 9 and a remainder of 54.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3494.29729
Deduct 666 from 720 and we're left with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
74 can be fit into 540 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3494.297297
Deduct 518 from 540 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
220 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3494.2972972
If we subtract 148 from 220, we get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
74 can be fit into 720 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3494.29729729
If we subtract 666 from 720, we get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3494.29729729, and the remainder is 5.4e-08.
