We're dividing 74217412 by 252 
We want to divide 74217412 by 252.

On to step 1:
252 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 74 / 252

Moving on to step 2:
252 goes into 74 0 times with a remainder of 74.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 74, we end up with 74.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 74, then repeat: 742 / 252

Moving on to step 3:
742 divided by 252 is 2 with a remainder of 238.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 504 from 742 and we're left with 238.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 238, then repeat: 2381 / 252

On to step 4:
2381 divided by 252 is 9 with a remainder of 113.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 29.0
If we subtract 2268 from 2381, we get 113.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 113 and repeat the process: 1137 / 252

Step 5:
The number 252 fits into 1137 4 times, leaving a remainder of 129.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 294.0
The remainder is 129 after subtracting 1008 from 1137.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 129, then repeat: 1294 / 252

Advancing to step 6:
The number 252 fits into 1294 5 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2945.0
If we take 1260 away from 1294, we end up with 34.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 34, then carry on: 341 / 252

Going ahead to step 7:
341 divided by 252 is 1 with a remainder of 89.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 29451.0
If we take 252 away from 341, we end up with 89.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 89, then carry on: 892 / 252

Going ahead to step 8:
252 goes into 892 3 times with a remainder of 136.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 294513.0
If we subtract 756 from 892, we get 136.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
252 can be fit into 1360 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 100.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 294513.5
The remainder is 100 after subtracting 1260 from 1360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1000, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 252 fits into 1000 3 times, leaving a remainder of 244.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 294513.53
If we subtract 756 from 1000, we get 244.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 2440 by 252, we get 9 and a remainder of 172.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 294513.539
Subtracting 2268 from 2440 leaves us with 172.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1720, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
1720 divided by 252 is 6 with a remainder of 208.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 294513.5396
If we take 1512 away from 1720, we end up with 208.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2080, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 252 fits into 2080 8 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 294513.53968
Subtract 2016 from 2080 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Step 14:
640 divided by 252 is 2 with a remainder of 136.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 294513.539682
Deduct 504 from 640 and we're left with 136.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1360, and continue the process.

Step 15:
If we divide 1360 by 252, we get 5 and a remainder of 100.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 294513.5396825
If we subtract 1260 from 1360, we get 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 16:
252 goes into 1000 3 times with a remainder of 244.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 294513.53968253
If we subtract 756 from 1000, we get 244.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2440, and continue the process.

The final result is 294513.53968253 with a remainder of 2.44e-07.
