208840 divided by 74 
Our goal is to divide 208840 by 74.

Advancing to step 1:
74 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 20 / 74

On to step 2:
74 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 208 / 74

On to step 3:
74 goes into 208 2 times with a remainder of 60.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 148 from 208 and we're left with 60.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 60 and continue: 608 / 74

Advancing to step 4:
608 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 28.0
Subtracting 592 from 608 leaves us with 16.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 164 / 74

Advancing to step 5:
164 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 282.0
If we take 148 away from 164, we end up with 16.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 160 / 74

Step 6:
160 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 12.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2822.0

Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2822.1
Subtract 74 from 120 to get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Step 8:
74 can be fit into 460 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2822.16
If we take 444 away from 460, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 74 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2822.162
Subtracting 148 from 160 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 120 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 46.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2822.1621
If we subtract 74 from 120, we get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
460 divided by 74 is 6 with a remainder of 16.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2822.16216
Subtracting 444 from 460 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 160 by 74, we get 2 with a remainder of 12.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2822.162162
If we subtract 148 from 160, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 13:
74 goes into 120 1 times with a remainder of 46.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2822.1621621
Subtract 74 from 120 to get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
74 can be fit into 460 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2822.16216216
If we subtract 444 from 460, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.
