257405 divided by 74 
We want to figure out the number of times 257405 can be divided by 74.

Let's proceed to step 1:
74 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 25 / 74

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 74 fits into 25 0 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 25, we end up with 25.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 257 / 74

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 257 by 74, we get 3 with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 222 from 257, we get 35.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 35, then repeat: 354 / 74

On to step 4:
74 goes into 354 4 times with a remainder of 58.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 34.0
Subtracting 296 from 354 leaves us with 58.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 58, then repeat: 580 / 74

Let's proceed to step 5:
74 can be fit into 580 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 62.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 347.0
If we subtract 518 from 580, we get 62.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 62 and repeat the process: 625 / 74

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 625 by 74, we get 8 and a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3478.0
Deduct 592 from 625 and we're left with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 330 by 74, we get 4 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3478.4
Deduct 296 from 330 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
340 divided by 74 is 4 with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3478.44
If we subtract 296 from 340, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3478.44 and a remainder of 0.044.
