We look at the division of 74642978 by 290 
We want to figure out the number of times 74642978 can be divided by 290.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 290 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 74 / 290

Step 2:
When dividing 74 by 290, we get 0 with a remainder of 74.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 74, we get 74.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 74, then repeat: 746 / 290

On to step 3:
746 divided by 290 is 2 with a remainder of 166.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 580 from 746 to get 166.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 166 and continue with: 1664 / 290

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 1664 by 290, we get 5 and a remainder of 214.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25.0
Deduct 1450 from 1664 and we're left with 214.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 214 and continue: 2142 / 290

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 2142 by 290, we get 7 and a remainder of 112.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 257.0
If we subtract 2030 from 2142, we get 112.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 112, then repeat: 1129 / 290

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 1129 by 290, we get 3 and a remainder of 259.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2573.0
If we subtract 870 from 1129, we get 259.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 259, then repeat: 2597 / 290

Advancing to step 7:
290 can be fit into 2597 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 277.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25738.0
If we take 2320 away from 2597, we end up with 277.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 277 and continue: 2778 / 290

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 2778 by 290, we get 9 with a remainder of 168.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 257389.0
If we take 2610 away from 2778, we end up with 168.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1680, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
1680 divided by 290 is 5 with a remainder of 230.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 257389.5
Subtracting 1450 from 1680 leaves us with 230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
2300 divided by 290 is 7 with a remainder of 270.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 257389.57
Deduct 2030 from 2300 and we're left with 270.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2700, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 2700 by 290, we get 9 with a remainder of 90.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 257389.579
Subtract 2610 from 2700 to get 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 900, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
290 can be fit into 900 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 257389.5793
Subtracting 870 from 900 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 300 by 290, we get 1 with a remainder of 10.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 257389.57931
Subtract 290 from 300 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 100 by 290, we get 0 with a remainder of 100.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 257389.57931
If we take 0 away from 100, we end up with 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1000, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
If we divide 1000 by 290, we get 3 and a remainder of 130.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 257389.5793103
Subtracting 870 from 1000 leaves us with 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
The number 290 fits into 1300 4 times, leaving a remainder of 140.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 257389.57931034
Deduct 1160 from 1300 and we're left with 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1400, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 257389.57931034 and a remainder of 1.4e-07.
