We divide 74685425 by 343
We want to divide 74685425 by 343.

Step 1:
When dividing 7 by 343, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 74 / 343

Step 2:
The number 343 fits into 74 0 times, leaving a remainder of 74.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 74, we end up with 74.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 74 and continue: 746 / 343

Moving on to step 3:
746 divided by 343 is 2 with a remainder of 60.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 686 from 746.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 60 and continue with: 608 / 343

Moving on to step 4:
343 can be fit into 608 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 265.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21.0
Deduct 343 from 608 and we're left with 265.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 265, then repeat: 2655 / 343

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 2655 by 343, we get 7 and a remainder of 254.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 217.0
If we take 2401 away from 2655, we end up with 254.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 254 and continue: 2544 / 343

Let's proceed to step 6:
343 goes into 2544 7 times with a remainder of 143.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2177.0
Subtract 2401 from 2544 to get 143.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 143, then repeat: 1432 / 343

Step 7:
343 goes into 1432 4 times with a remainder of 60.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21774.0
If we take 1372 away from 1432, we end up with 60.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 60, then carry on: 605 / 343

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 343 fits into 605 1 times, leaving a remainder of 262.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 217741.0
If we take 343 away from 605, we end up with 262.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2620, and continue the process.

Step 9:
343 can be fit into 2620 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 219.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 217741.7
Subtracting 2401 from 2620 leaves us with 219.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 343 fits into 2190 6 times, leaving a remainder of 132.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 217741.76
If we subtract 2058 from 2190, we get 132.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
343 goes into 1320 3 times with a remainder of 291.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 217741.763
Subtracting 1029 from 1320 leaves us with 291.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2910, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
2910 divided by 343 is 8 with a remainder of 166.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 217741.7638
The remainder is 166 after subtracting 2744 from 2910.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1660, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
343 can be fit into 1660 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 288.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 217741.76384
If we subtract 1372 from 1660, we get 288.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2880, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 2880 by 343, we get 8 with a remainder of 136.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 217741.763848
Subtract 2744 from 2880 to 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.

Advancing to step 15:
343 can be fit into 1360 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 331.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 217741.7638483
Deduct 1029 from 1360 and we're left with 331.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3310, and continue the process.

Step 16:
3310 divided by 343 is 9 with a remainder of 223.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 217741.76384839
Subtracting 3087 from 3310 leaves us with 223.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2230, and continue the process.

Our division results in 217741.76384839 with a remaining 2.23e-07.
