231008 ÷ 74 
Let's see how many times 74 fits into 231008.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 23 / 74

Moving on to step 2:
74 goes into 23 0 times with a remainder of 23.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 0 from 23.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 231 / 74

On to step 3:
74 can be fit into 231 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 222 from 231, we get 9.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 90 / 74

Advancing to step 4:
74 can be fit into 90 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtract 74 from 90 to get 16.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 160 / 74

On to step 5:
The number 74 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 312.0
If we subtract 148 from 160, we get 12.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 128 / 74

Going ahead to step 6:
74 can be fit into 128 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3121.0
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 74 from 128.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 540 by 74, we get 7 with a remainder of 22.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3121.7
If we subtract 518 from 540, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 74 fits into 220 2 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3121.72
Subtracting 148 from 220 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
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: 3121.729
Subtracting 666 from 720 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
74 can be fit into 540 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3121.7297
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
74 can be fit into 220 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3121.72972
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 720 by 74, we get 9 and a remainder of 54.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3121.729729
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 666 from 720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 74 fits into 540 7 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3121.7297297
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
74 goes into 220 2 times with a remainder of 72.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3121.72972972
Subtracting 148 from 220 leaves us 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.

After the division, we end up with 3121.72972972 and a remainder of 7.2e-08.
