204453 ÷ 74 
Let's see how many times 74 fits into 204453.

On to step 1:
74 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 20 / 74

On to step 2:
If we divide 20 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 204 / 74

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 74 fits into 204 2 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 148 from 204 and we're left with 56.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 56 and continue: 564 / 74

Let's proceed to step 4:
74 can be fit into 564 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27.0
If we take 518 away from 564, we end up with 46.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 46, then carry on: 465 / 74

Moving on to step 5:
465 divided by 74 is 6 with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 276.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 444 from 465.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 213 / 74

Advancing to step 6:
74 goes into 213 2 times with a remainder of 65.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2762.0
If we take 148 away from 213, we end up with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
74 goes into 650 8 times with a remainder of 58.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2762.8
Subtracting 592 from 650 leaves us with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 580 by 74, we get 7 and a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2762.87
Subtract 518 from 580 to get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
74 can be fit into 620 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2762.878
Subtract 592 from 620 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
280 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 58.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2762.8783
Subtracting 222 from 280 leaves us with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 580 by 74, we get 7 with a remainder of 62.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2762.87837
If we subtract 518 from 580, we get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 74 fits into 620 8 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2762.878378
Subtracting 592 from 620 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
280 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 58.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2762.8783783
Deduct 222 from 280 and we're left with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Step 14:
74 goes into 580 7 times with a remainder of 62.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2762.87837837
If we subtract 518 from 580, we get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2762.87837837 with a balance of 6.2e-08.
