We look at the division of 284997 by 74 
We want to divide 284997 by 74.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 74

Advancing to step 2:
74 can be fit into 28 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 28 to get 28.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 284 / 74

Advancing to step 3:
74 can be fit into 284 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 62.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 222 from 284.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 62 and continue: 629 / 74

Let's proceed to step 4:
629 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 37.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 38.0
If we take 592 away from 629, we end up with 37.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 37 and continue: 379 / 74

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 379 by 74, we get 5 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 385.0
If we take 370 away from 379, we end up with 9.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 97 / 74

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 97 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 23.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3851.0
Subtracting 74 from 97 leaves us with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 230 by 74, we get 3 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3851.3
Subtracting 222 from 230 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
74 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3851.31
If we take 74 away from 80, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 60 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3851.31
Subtracting 0 from 60 leaves us with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 74 fits into 600 8 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3851.3108
If we subtract 592 from 600, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 11:
74 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3851.31081
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 74 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 12:
74 goes into 60 0 times with a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3851.31081
If we subtract 0 from 60, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 74 fits into 600 8 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3851.3108108
If we take 592 away from 600, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 14:
74 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3851.31081081
If we take 74 away from 80, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3851.31081081, and the remainder is 6e-09.
