We divide 264898 by 74
We want to divide 264898 by 74.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 26 / 74

Step 2:
When dividing 26 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 26, we end up with 26.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 264 / 74

On to step 3:
74 can be fit into 264 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 222 from 264 leaves us with 42.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 428 / 74

Moving on to step 4:
The number 74 fits into 428 5 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 35.0
Subtract 370 from 428 to get 58.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 58, then repeat: 589 / 74

Step 5:
The number 74 fits into 589 7 times, leaving a remainder of 71.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 357.0
If we subtract 518 from 589, we get 71.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 71, then repeat: 718 / 74

Let's proceed to step 6:
718 divided by 74 is 9 with a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3579.0
Subtracting 666 from 718 leaves us with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 520 by 74, we get 7 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3579.7
Subtract 518 from 520 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 74 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3579.7
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
74 can be fit into 200 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3579.702
If we take 148 away from 200, we end up with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
74 goes into 520 7 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3579.7027
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 518 from 520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
20 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3579.7027
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
200 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 52.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3579.702702
If we subtract 148 from 200, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
74 can be fit into 520 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3579.7027027
Subtract 518 from 520 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
74 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3579.7027027
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3579.7027027 and a remainder of 2e-08.
