Let's divide 311669 by 74
Let's see how many times 74 fits into 311669.

On to step 1:
74 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 31 / 74

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 31 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 31 and we're left with 31.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 311 / 74

Let's proceed to step 3:
74 can be fit into 311 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 296 from 311.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 156 / 74

Let's proceed to step 4:
74 can be fit into 156 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42.0
If we subtract 148 from 156, we get 8.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 86 / 74

On to step 5:
If we divide 86 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 421.0
If we take 74 away from 86, we end up with 12.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 129 / 74

Step 6:
When dividing 129 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 4211.0
Subtracting 74 from 129 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 550 by 74, we get 7 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4211.7
Subtract 518 from 550 to 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.

Step 8:
The number 74 fits into 320 4 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4211.74
Subtract 296 from 320 to 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.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 74 fits into 240 3 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4211.743
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
180 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4211.7432
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.

Advancing to step 11:
74 goes into 320 4 times with a remainder of 24.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4211.74324
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.

On to step 12:
The number 74 fits into 240 3 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 4211.743243
Subtracting 222 from 240 leaves us 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.

Step 13:
The number 74 fits into 180 2 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4211.7432432
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 14:
320 divided by 74 is 4 with a remainder of 24.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4211.74324324
Subtract 296 from 320 to 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.

The final outcome is 4211.74324324, with a leftover of 2.4e-08.
