We're dividing 312743 by 74 
Let's see how many times 74 fits into 312743.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 74 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 31 / 74

Moving on to step 2:
74 can be fit into 31 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 31 to get 31.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 312 / 74

Let's proceed to step 3:
74 can be fit into 312 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 296 from 312 leaves us with 16.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 167 / 74

Step 4:
74 goes into 167 2 times with a remainder of 19.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42.0
Subtracting 148 from 167 leaves us with 19.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 194 / 74

On to step 5:
194 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 46.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 422.0
If we subtract 148 from 194, we get 46.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 46 and continue with: 463 / 74

On to step 6:
74 goes into 463 6 times with a remainder of 19.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4226.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 444 from 463.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 190 by 74, we get 2 with a remainder of 42.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4226.2
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 148 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 420 by 74, we get 5 and a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 4226.25
If we subtract 370 from 420, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 74 fits into 500 6 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4226.256
Deduct 444 from 500 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 560 by 74, we get 7 and a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4226.2567
If we subtract 518 from 560, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
74 can be fit into 420 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 4226.25675
If we subtract 370 from 420, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
500 divided by 74 is 6 with a remainder of 56.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4226.256756
Subtract 444 from 500 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
74 goes into 560 7 times with a remainder of 42.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4226.2567567
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 518 from 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 14:
74 can be fit into 420 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4226.25675675
Subtract 370 from 420 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 4226.25675675 and a remainder of 5e-08.
