We're dividing 199661 by 74 
Let's see how many times 74 fits into 199661.

On to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 19 / 74

Step 2:
19 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 19, we get 19.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 19, then repeat: 199 / 74

Moving on to step 3:
The number 74 fits into 199 2 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 148 from 199.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 51, then repeat: 516 / 74

Going ahead to step 4:
74 can be fit into 516 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 26.0
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 444 from 516.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 72, then repeat: 726 / 74

Step 5:
74 goes into 726 9 times with a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 269.0
Deduct 666 from 726 and we're left with 60.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 60 and repeat the process: 601 / 74

Step 6:
601 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 9.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2698.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 592 from 601.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 74 fits into 90 1 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2698.1
Subtract 74 from 90 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 160 by 74, we get 2 and a remainder of 12.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2698.12
If we take 148 away from 160, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
74 goes into 120 1 times with a remainder of 46.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2698.121
If we subtract 74 from 120, we get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 460 by 74, we get 6 with a remainder of 16.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2698.1216
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 444 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 11:
74 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2698.12162
If we subtract 148 from 160, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 120 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2698.121621
Subtract 74 from 120 to get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 460 by 74, we get 6 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2698.1216216
Deduct 444 from 460 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
74 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2698.12162162
Subtracting 148 from 160 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2698.12162162 with a balance of 1.2e-08.
