We're dividing 331478 by 74 
We want to divide 331478 by 74.

On to step 1:
When dividing 3 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 33 / 74

Moving on to step 2:
The number 74 fits into 33 0 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 33, we get 33.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 33 and continue with: 331 / 74

Let's proceed to step 3:
331 divided by 74 is 4 with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 296 from 331.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 35, then repeat: 354 / 74

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 354 by 74, we get 4 with a remainder of 58.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 44.0
Subtracting 296 from 354 leaves us with 58.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 58 and continue: 587 / 74

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 587 by 74, we get 7 with a remainder of 69.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 447.0
Subtracting 518 from 587 leaves us with 69.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 69, then repeat: 698 / 74

Let's proceed to step 6:
74 can be fit into 698 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4479.0
If we subtract 666 from 698, 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 7:
If we divide 320 by 74, we get 4 and a remainder of 24.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4479.4
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 8:
240 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4479.43
Subtract 222 from 240 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
74 goes into 180 2 times with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4479.432
If we take 148 away from 180, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
74 can be fit into 320 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4479.4324
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.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 240 by 74, we get 3 and a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4479.43243
Deduct 222 from 240 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 12:
180 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4479.432432
Subtracting 148 from 180 leaves us with 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 13:
320 divided by 74 is 4 with a remainder of 24.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4479.4324324
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
74 goes into 240 3 times with a remainder of 18.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4479.43243243
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.

The quotient of the division is 4479.43243243, and the remainder is 1.8e-08.
