Let's divide 261593 by 74
We want to figure out the number of times 261593 can be divided by 74.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 74 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 26 / 74

Let's proceed to step 2:
74 can be fit into 26 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 26, we get 26.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 261 / 74

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 261 by 74, we get 3 and a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 222 from 261.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 39, then repeat: 395 / 74

Let's proceed to step 4:
74 goes into 395 5 times with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 35.0
Deduct 370 from 395 and we're left with 25.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 259 / 74

Going ahead to step 5:
74 can be fit into 259 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 353.0
Subtracting 222 from 259 leaves us with 37.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 37 and continue: 373 / 74

Going ahead to step 6:
373 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 3.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3535.0
If we take 370 away from 373, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
74 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3535.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 0 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 300 by 74, we get 4 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3535.04
Deduct 296 from 300 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 40 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3535.04
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 10:
400 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3535.0405
Subtract 370 from 400 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
74 can be fit into 300 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3535.04054
Subtract 296 from 300 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
74 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3535.04054
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
400 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3535.0405405
Deduct 370 from 400 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 300 by 74, we get 4 and a remainder of 4.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3535.04054054
If we subtract 296 from 300, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3535.04054054 with a remaining 4e-09.
