Let's divide 266677 by 74
Our goal is to divide 266677 by 74.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 26 / 74

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 26 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 26, we end up with 26.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 266 / 74

Advancing to step 3:
74 goes into 266 3 times with a remainder of 44.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 222 away from 266, we end up with 44.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 44, then carry on: 446 / 74

Step 4:
74 goes into 446 6 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 36.0
Subtracting 444 from 446 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 27 / 74

Advancing to step 5:
27 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 360.0
Subtracting 0 from 27 leaves us with 27.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 277 / 74

Advancing to step 6:
74 goes into 277 3 times with a remainder of 55.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3603.0
Subtracting 222 from 277 leaves us with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 550 by 74, we get 7 and a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3603.7
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 518 from 550.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 320 by 74, we get 4 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3603.74
Deduct 296 from 320 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.

Moving on to step 9:
74 goes into 240 3 times with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3603.743
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.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 180 by 74, we get 2 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3603.7432
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.

On to step 11:
320 divided by 74 is 4 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3603.74324
Deduct 296 from 320 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
74 can be fit into 240 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3603.743243
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
74 goes into 180 2 times with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3603.7432432
Subtracting 148 from 180 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
320 divided by 74 is 4 with a remainder of 24.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3603.74324324
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.

After the division, we end up with 3603.74324324 and a remainder of 2.4e-08.
