74798621 divided by 261 
Our goal is to divide 74798621 by 261.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 261 fits into 7 0 times, leaving 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 / 261

On to step 2:
The number 261 fits into 74 0 times, leaving a remainder of 74.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 74, we get 74.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 74 and repeat the process: 747 / 261

On to step 3:
261 can be fit into 747 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 225.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 522 from 747 leaves us with 225.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 225 and continue: 2259 / 261

Advancing to step 4:
261 can be fit into 2259 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 171.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28.0
Subtract 2088 from 2259 to get 171.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 171 and continue with: 1718 / 261

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 1718 by 261, we get 6 with a remainder of 152.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 286.0
If we subtract 1566 from 1718, we get 152.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 152 and repeat the process: 1526 / 261

Going ahead to step 6:
1526 divided by 261 is 5 with a remainder of 221.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2865.0
If we subtract 1305 from 1526, we get 221.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 221 and continue: 2212 / 261

Step 7:
The number 261 fits into 2212 8 times, leaving a remainder of 124.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28658.0
Subtracting 2088 from 2212 leaves us with 124.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 124, then repeat: 1241 / 261

Moving on to step 8:
261 can be fit into 1241 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 197.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 286584.0
If we take 1044 away from 1241, we end up with 197.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1970, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 1970 by 261, we get 7 with a remainder of 143.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 286584.7
If we take 1827 away from 1970, we end up with 143.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1430, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 1430 by 261, we get 5 and a remainder of 125.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 286584.75
Deduct 1305 from 1430 and we're left with 125.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1250, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 261 fits into 1250 4 times, leaving a remainder of 206.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 286584.754
Subtract 1044 from 1250 to get 206.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2060, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
2060 divided by 261 is 7 with a remainder of 233.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 286584.7547
Deduct 1827 from 2060 and we're left with 233.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2330, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 2330 by 261, we get 8 and a remainder of 242.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 286584.75478
Deduct 2088 from 2330 and we're left with 242.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2420, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 2420 by 261, we get 9 and a remainder of 71.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 286584.754789
Deduct 2349 from 2420 and we're left with 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
710 divided by 261 is 2 with a remainder of 188.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 286584.7547892
Subtract 522 from 710 to get 188.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1880, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
The number 261 fits into 1880 7 times, leaving a remainder of 53.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 286584.75478927
If we subtract 1827 from 1880, we get 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 286584.75478927, and the remainder is 5.3e-08.
