Let's divide 255727 by 74
We want to figure out the number of times 255727 can be divided by 74.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 25 / 74

Step 2:
74 goes into 25 0 times with a remainder of 25.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 25 to get 25.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 255 / 74

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 74 fits into 255 3 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 222 from 255 and we're left with 33.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 33 and repeat the process: 337 / 74

Moving on to step 4:
337 divided by 74 is 4 with a remainder of 41.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 34.0
Deduct 296 from 337 and we're left with 41.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 41, then repeat: 412 / 74

On to step 5:
74 goes into 412 5 times with a remainder of 42.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 345.0
Subtract 370 from 412 to get 42.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 427 / 74

Advancing to step 6:
427 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 57.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3455.0
If we subtract 370 from 427, we get 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 74 fits into 570 7 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3455.7
If we subtract 518 from 570, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 74 fits into 520 7 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3455.77
If we subtract 518 from 520, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3455.77, and the remainder is 0.002.
