We're dividing 196346 by 74 
Our goal is to divide 196346 by 74.

Step 1:
74 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 19 / 74

Step 2:
The number 74 fits into 19 0 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 19, we get 19.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 196 / 74

Moving on to step 3:
74 can be fit into 196 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 148 away from 196, we end up with 48.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 48, then carry on: 483 / 74

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 483 by 74, we get 6 with a remainder of 39.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 26.0
If we subtract 444 from 483, we get 39.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 39 and repeat the process: 394 / 74

Moving on to step 5:
74 can be fit into 394 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 265.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 370 from 394.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 246 / 74

Step 6:
74 can be fit into 246 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2653.0
Deduct 222 from 246 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.

Step 7:
When dividing 240 by 74, we get 3 with a remainder of 18.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2653.3
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 74 fits into 180 2 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2653.32
Deduct 148 from 180 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 320 by 74, we get 4 with a remainder of 24.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2653.324
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.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 240 by 74, we get 3 and a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2653.3243
If we take 222 away from 240, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 11:
180 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 32.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2653.32432
Deduct 148 from 180 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 320 by 74, we get 4 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2653.324324
Subtracting 296 from 320 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 240 by 74, we get 3 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2653.3243243
If we subtract 222 from 240, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
74 goes into 180 2 times with a remainder of 32.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2653.32432432
If we subtract 148 from 180, 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 2653.32432432 with a balance of 3.2e-08.
