We look at the division of 259837 by 74 
Let's see how many times 74 fits into 259837.

On 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
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 25 / 74

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 74 fits into 25 0 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 25 to get 25.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 259 / 74

Let's proceed to step 3:
259 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 37.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 222 from 259 to get 37.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 378 / 74

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 378 by 74, we get 5 with a remainder of 8.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 35.0
Deduct 370 from 378 and we're left with 8.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 83 / 74

Advancing to step 5:
The number 74 fits into 83 1 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 351.0
If we take 74 away from 83, we end up with 9.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 97 / 74

Moving on to step 6:
The number 74 fits into 97 1 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3511.0
If we subtract 74 from 97, we get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Step 7:
230 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 8.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3511.3
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 222 from 230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
74 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3511.31
Subtract 74 from 80 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
60 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 60.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3511.31
If we take 0 away from 60, we end up with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 600 by 74, we get 8 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3511.3108
Deduct 592 from 600 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
74 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3511.31081
Deduct 74 from 80 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 60 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 60.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3511.31081
If we subtract 0 from 60, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
74 can be fit into 600 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3511.3108108
If we subtract 592 from 600, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 74 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3511.31081081
Subtracting 74 from 80 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3511.31081081 and a remainder of 6e-09.
