294993 divided by 74 
We're looking to find how many times 74 goes into 294993.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 74, we get 0 with 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.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 29 / 74

On to step 2:
When dividing 29 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 29.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 29, we end up with 29.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 294 / 74

On to step 3:
If we divide 294 by 74, we get 3 and a remainder of 72.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 222 from 294 to get 72.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 72, then repeat: 729 / 74

On to step 4:
The number 74 fits into 729 9 times, leaving a remainder of 63.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 39.0
If we subtract 666 from 729, we get 63.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 63 and continue: 639 / 74

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 639 by 74, we get 8 and a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 398.0
If we subtract 592 from 639, we get 47.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 47, then repeat: 473 / 74

Step 6:
The number 74 fits into 473 6 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3986.0
Deduct 444 from 473 and we're left with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Step 7:
74 can be fit into 290 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3986.3
If we subtract 222 from 290, we get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
680 divided by 74 is 9 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3986.39
If we subtract 666 from 680, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 9:
74 goes into 140 1 times with a remainder of 66.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3986.391
Subtract 74 from 140 to get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
74 goes into 660 8 times with a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3986.3918
Deduct 592 from 660 and we're left with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 680 by 74, we get 9 with a remainder of 14.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3986.39189
If we subtract 666 from 680, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 140 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 66.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3986.391891
If we subtract 74 from 140, we get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
74 goes into 660 8 times with a remainder of 68.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3986.3918918
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 592 from 660.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 74 fits into 680 9 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3986.39189189
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 666 from 680.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

The final result is 3986.39189189 with a remainder of 1.4e-08.
