We look at the division of 74982785 by 217 
We're looking to find how many times 217 goes into 74982785.

On to step 1:
7 divided by 217 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 74 / 217

Let's proceed to step 2:
74 divided by 217 is 0 with a remainder of 74.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 74 to get 74.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 74, then repeat: 749 / 217

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 749 by 217, we get 3 and a remainder of 98.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 98 after subtracting 651 from 749.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 98 and continue: 988 / 217

Moving on to step 4:
217 goes into 988 4 times with a remainder of 120.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 34.0
Deduct 868 from 988 and we're left with 120.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 120 and repeat the process: 1202 / 217

On to step 5:
The number 217 fits into 1202 5 times, leaving a remainder of 117.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 345.0
The remainder is 117 after subtracting 1085 from 1202.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 117, then carry on: 1177 / 217

Moving on to step 6:
217 can be fit into 1177 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 92.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3455.0
Subtracting 1085 from 1177 leaves us with 92.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 92, then carry on: 928 / 217

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 217 fits into 928 4 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 34554.0
If we take 868 away from 928, we end up with 60.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 60 and continue: 605 / 217

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 605 by 217, we get 2 and a remainder of 171.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 345542.0
Subtracting 434 from 605 leaves us with 171.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1710, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
217 can be fit into 1710 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 191.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 345542.7
Subtracting 1519 from 1710 leaves us with 191.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1910, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
217 goes into 1910 8 times with a remainder of 174.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 345542.78
The remainder is 174 after subtracting 1736 from 1910.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1740, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
217 can be fit into 1740 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 345542.788
If we take 1736 away from 1740, we end up 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.

After the division, we end up with 345542.788 and a remainder of 0.0004.
