We're dividing 74045858 by 242 
Let's see how many times 242 fits into 74045858.

Advancing to step 1:
242 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 74 / 242

Let's proceed to step 2:
74 divided by 242 is 0 with a remainder of 74.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 74 after subtracting 0 from 74.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 74 and continue: 740 / 242

Moving on to step 3:
242 goes into 740 3 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 726 from 740 leaves us with 14.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 144 / 242

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 242 fits into 144 0 times, leaving a remainder of 144.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 30.0
Subtract 0 from 144 to get 144.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 144, then carry on: 1445 / 242

Moving on to step 5:
The number 242 fits into 1445 5 times, leaving a remainder of 235.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 305.0
The remainder is 235 after subtracting 1210 from 1445.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 235 and continue: 2358 / 242

Moving on to step 6:
The number 242 fits into 2358 9 times, leaving a remainder of 180.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3059.0
Subtracting 2178 from 2358 leaves us with 180.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 180, then repeat: 1805 / 242

Moving on to step 7:
1805 divided by 242 is 7 with a remainder of 111.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 30597.0
Subtracting 1694 from 1805 leaves us with 111.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 111 and repeat the process: 1118 / 242

Step 8:
242 can be fit into 1118 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 150.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 305974.0
Deduct 968 from 1118 and we're left with 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
242 can be fit into 1500 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 305974.6
If we subtract 1452 from 1500, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
480 divided by 242 is 1 with a remainder of 238.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 305974.61
Deduct 242 from 480 and we're left with 238.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2380, and continue the process.

Step 11:
242 goes into 2380 9 times with a remainder of 202.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 305974.619
If we take 2178 away from 2380, we end up with 202.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2020, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
242 can be fit into 2020 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 84.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 305974.6198
Subtracting 1936 from 2020 leaves us with 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
242 can be fit into 840 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 114.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 305974.61983
The remainder is 114 after subtracting 726 from 840.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 1140 by 242, we get 4 with a remainder of 172.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 305974.619834
Subtract 968 from 1140 to get 172.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1720, and continue the process.

Step 15:
When dividing 1720 by 242, we get 7 with a remainder of 26.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 305974.6198347
Deduct 1694 from 1720 and we're left 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.

On to step 16:
242 goes into 260 1 times with a remainder of 18.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 305974.61983471
If we subtract 242 from 260, 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.

The final result is 305974.61983471 with a remainder of 1.8e-08.
