We divide 308784 by 74
We want to divide 308784 by 74.

On to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 30 / 74

Step 2:
74 can be fit into 30 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 30.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 30 and continue with: 308 / 74

Going ahead to step 3:
74 can be fit into 308 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 296 from 308 leaves us with 12.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 127 / 74

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 127 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 53.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 41.0
Subtracting 74 from 127 leaves us with 53.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 53 and repeat the process: 538 / 74

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 538 by 74, we get 7 and a remainder of 20.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 417.0
If we take 518 away from 538, we end up with 20.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 204 / 74

Let's proceed to step 6:
204 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4172.0
Subtract 148 from 204 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.

Step 7:
74 can be fit into 560 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4172.7
Subtracting 518 from 560 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 420 by 74, we get 5 with a remainder of 50.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4172.75
Deduct 370 from 420 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 500 by 74, we get 6 and a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4172.756
Subtracting 444 from 500 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 560 by 74, we get 7 with a remainder of 42.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4172.7567
Deduct 518 from 560 and we're left with 42.
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 11:
If we divide 420 by 74, we get 5 and a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4172.75675
If we take 370 away from 420, we end up with 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:
When dividing 500 by 74, we get 6 with a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4172.756756
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.

Step 13:
560 divided by 74 is 7 with a remainder of 42.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4172.7567567
Deduct 518 from 560 and we're left with 42.
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 goes into 420 5 times with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 4172.75675675
Subtracting 370 from 420 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 4172.75675675, and the remainder is 5e-08.
