We divide 265689 by 74
Our goal is to divide 265689 by 74.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 74 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 26 / 74

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 74 fits into 26 0 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 26 and we're left with 26.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 265 / 74

Advancing to step 3:
74 goes into 265 3 times with a remainder of 43.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 222 from 265.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 43 and repeat the process: 436 / 74

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 436 by 74, we get 5 with a remainder of 66.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 35.0
Deduct 370 from 436 and we're left with 66.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 66, then repeat: 668 / 74

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 668 by 74, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 359.0
Deduct 666 from 668 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 29 / 74

On to step 6:
29 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3590.0
Subtracting 0 from 29 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
74 goes into 290 3 times with a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3590.3
Deduct 222 from 290 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
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: 3590.39
Deduct 666 from 680 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to 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: 3590.391
Deduct 74 from 140 and we're left with 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 10:
74 can be fit into 660 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3590.3918
Subtract 592 from 660 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 74 fits into 680 9 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3590.39189
Subtracting 666 from 680 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 140 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3590.391891
Deduct 74 from 140 and we're left with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
660 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 68.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3590.3918918
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.

Step 14:
The number 74 fits into 680 9 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3590.39189189
Subtract 666 from 680 to 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 3590.39189189 with a balance of 1.4e-08.
