74286566 divided by 342 
We want to divide 74286566 by 342.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 342, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 74 / 342

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 74 by 342, we get 0 and a remainder of 74.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 74, we end up with 74.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 74 and repeat the process: 742 / 342

Step 3:
342 can be fit into 742 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 684 away from 742, we end up with 58.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 58, then repeat: 588 / 342

Going ahead to step 4:
588 divided by 342 is 1 with a remainder of 246.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
The remainder is 246 after subtracting 342 from 588.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 246, then carry on: 2466 / 342

On to step 5:
When dividing 2466 by 342, we get 7 with a remainder of 72.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 217.0
If we subtract 2394 from 2466, we get 72.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 72 and continue: 725 / 342

Step 6:
If we divide 725 by 342, we get 2 and a remainder of 41.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2172.0
If we subtract 684 from 725, we get 41.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 41 and continue with: 416 / 342

Step 7:
416 divided by 342 is 1 with a remainder of 74.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21721.0
Subtract 342 from 416 to get 74.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 74 and continue with: 746 / 342

Step 8:
When dividing 746 by 342, we get 2 with a remainder of 62.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 217212.0
If we subtract 684 from 746, 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
342 can be fit into 620 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 278.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 217212.1
Subtracting 342 from 620 leaves us with 278.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2780, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
2780 divided by 342 is 8 with a remainder of 44.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 217212.18
If we subtract 2736 from 2780, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
342 can be fit into 440 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 98.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 217212.181
Subtract 342 from 440 to get 98.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 980, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 980 by 342, we get 2 with a remainder of 296.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 217212.1812
The remainder is 296 after subtracting 684 from 980.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2960, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
2960 divided by 342 is 8 with a remainder of 224.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 217212.18128
Subtract 2736 from 2960 to get 224.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2240, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 342 fits into 2240 6 times, leaving a remainder of 188.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 217212.181286
Deduct 2052 from 2240 and we're left with 188.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1880, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
When dividing 1880 by 342, we get 5 with a remainder of 170.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 217212.1812865
The remainder is 170 after subtracting 1710 from 1880.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1700, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
If we divide 1700 by 342, we get 4 and a remainder of 332.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 217212.18128654
If we subtract 1368 from 1700, we get 332.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3320, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 217212.18128654, and the remainder is 3.32e-07.
