215873 divided by 74 
We're looking to find how many times 74 goes into 215873.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 74 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 21 / 74

On to step 2:
When dividing 21 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 21.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 21 and we're left with 21.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 215 / 74

Going ahead to step 3:
74 can be fit into 215 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 67.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 148 from 215 to get 67.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 67, then repeat: 678 / 74

Let's proceed to step 4:
678 divided by 74 is 9 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 29.0
If we take 666 away from 678, we end up with 12.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 127 / 74

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 127 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 53.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 291.0
Subtract 74 from 127 to get 53.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 53 and repeat the process: 533 / 74

Step 6:
74 goes into 533 7 times with a remainder of 15.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2917.0
Subtract 518 from 533 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 150 by 74, we get 2 with a remainder of 2.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2917.2
Subtract 148 from 150 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
20 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2917.2
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
74 can be fit into 200 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2917.202
If we subtract 148 from 200, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 520 by 74, we get 7 and a remainder of 2.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2917.2027
If we take 518 away from 520, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
74 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2917.2027
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
200 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 52.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2917.202702
If we take 148 away from 200, we end up with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 520 by 74, we get 7 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2917.2027027
Subtracting 518 from 520 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
20 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2917.2027027
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

The final result is 2917.2027027 with a remainder of 2e-08.
