Let's divide 234272 by 74
We want to divide 234272 by 74.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 23 / 74

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 74 fits into 23 0 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 23 and we're left with 23.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 234 / 74

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 234 by 74, we get 3 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 222 away from 234, we end up with 12.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 122 / 74

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 122 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 48.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31.0
If we subtract 74 from 122, we get 48.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 48, then carry on: 487 / 74

Moving on to step 5:
The number 74 fits into 487 6 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 316.0
Subtract 444 from 487 to get 43.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 43, then carry on: 432 / 74

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 432 by 74, we get 5 with a remainder of 62.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3165.0
If we subtract 370 from 432, we get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 620 by 74, we get 8 and a remainder of 28.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3165.8
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 592 from 620.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
280 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 58.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3165.83
Subtract 222 from 280 to get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 74 fits into 580 7 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3165.837
Subtract 518 from 580 to get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 74 fits into 620 8 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3165.8378
If we subtract 592 from 620, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 280 by 74, we get 3 and a remainder of 58.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3165.83783
Subtracting 222 from 280 leaves us with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 74 fits into 580 7 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3165.837837
Subtracting 518 from 580 leaves us with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
74 can be fit into 620 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3165.8378378
If we take 592 away from 620, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
74 can be fit into 280 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3165.83783783
If we subtract 222 from 280, we get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 3165.83783783, with a leftover of 5.8e-08.
