222987 ÷ 74 
We're looking to find how many times 74 goes into 222987.

Step 1:
74 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 22 / 74

Advancing to step 2:
The number 74 fits into 22 0 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 22 to get 22.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 222 / 74

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 222 by 74, we get 3 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 222 away from 222, we end up with 0.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 9 / 74

Advancing to step 4:
The number 74 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 30.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 98 / 74

Moving on to step 5:
74 can be fit into 98 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 301.0
Subtracting 74 from 98 leaves us with 24.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 247 / 74

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 247 by 74, we get 3 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3013.0
Subtracting 222 from 247 leaves us with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 74 fits into 250 3 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3013.3
Subtract 222 from 250 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 280 by 74, we get 3 with a remainder of 58.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3013.33
Subtracting 222 from 280 leaves us with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3013.33 with a remaining 0.058.
