We're dividing 218428 by 74 
We want to figure out the number of times 218428 can be divided by 74.

Moving on to step 1:
2 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 21 / 74

Moving on to step 2:
21 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 21.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 21 to get 21.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 218 / 74

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 218 by 74, we get 2 with a remainder of 70.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 148 from 218 to get 70.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 70 and continue with: 704 / 74

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 704 by 74, we get 9 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 29.0
Subtract 666 from 704 to get 38.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 38, then repeat: 382 / 74

Advancing to step 5:
74 goes into 382 5 times with a remainder of 12.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 295.0
If we subtract 370 from 382, we get 12.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 128 / 74

Step 6:
When dividing 128 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2951.0
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 74 from 128.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
74 goes into 540 7 times with a remainder of 22.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2951.7
Deduct 518 from 540 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 8:
220 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 72.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2951.72
Subtract 148 from 220 to get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 74 fits into 720 9 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2951.729
Subtracting 666 from 720 leaves us with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 540 by 74, we get 7 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2951.7297
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 518 from 540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 220 by 74, we get 2 with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2951.72972
If we subtract 148 from 220, we get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
74 goes into 720 9 times with a remainder of 54.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2951.729729
If we take 666 away from 720, we end up with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 540 by 74, we get 7 and a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2951.7297297
Subtracting 518 from 540 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
220 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2951.72972972
Subtracting 148 from 220 leaves us with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 2951.72972972, and the remainder is 7.2e-08.
