Let's divide 216138 by 74
We want to divide 216138 by 74.

Step 1:
74 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 21 / 74

Advancing to step 2:
74 goes into 21 0 times with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 21, we get 21.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 216 / 74

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 216 by 74, we get 2 with a remainder of 68.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 148 from 216 and we're left with 68.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 68, then carry on: 681 / 74

Advancing to step 4:
681 divided by 74 is 9 with a remainder of 15.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 29.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 666 from 681.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 153 / 74

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 153 by 74, we get 2 with a remainder of 5.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 292.0
If we take 148 away from 153, we end up with 5.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 58 / 74

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 58 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 58.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2920.0
If we take 0 away from 58, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
580 divided by 74 is 7 with a remainder of 62.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2920.7
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 518 from 580.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
74 can be fit into 620 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2920.78
If we take 592 away from 620, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 74 fits into 280 3 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2920.783
If we subtract 222 from 280, we get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
74 can be fit into 580 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2920.7837
If we take 518 away from 580, we end up with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 74 fits into 620 8 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2920.78378
If we subtract 592 from 620, we 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.

On to step 12:
If we divide 280 by 74, we get 3 and a remainder of 58.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2920.783783
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 580 by 74, we get 7 with a remainder of 62.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2920.7837837
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 518 from 580.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 620 by 74, we get 8 and a remainder of 28.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2920.78378378
Subtracting 592 from 620 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2920.78378378 with a remaining 2.8e-08.
