261303 ÷ 74 
Let's see how many times 74 fits into 261303.

Step 1:
74 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
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

Going ahead to step 2:
26 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 26.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 26 to get 26.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 261 / 74

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 74 fits into 261 3 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 222 from 261 and we're left with 39.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 39 and continue: 393 / 74

Step 4:
74 can be fit into 393 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 35.0
Subtract 370 from 393 to get 23.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 230 / 74

On to step 5:
The number 74 fits into 230 3 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 353.0
If we subtract 222 from 230, we get 8.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 83 / 74

On to step 6:
74 can be fit into 83 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3531.0
If we subtract 74 from 83, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Step 7:
74 goes into 90 1 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3531.1
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 74 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 160 by 74, we get 2 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3531.12
Subtracting 148 from 160 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 120 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3531.121
Subtract 74 from 120 to get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
74 goes into 460 6 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3531.1216
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 444 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
74 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3531.12162
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 148 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 120 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3531.121621
Subtract 74 from 120 to get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
460 divided by 74 is 6 with a remainder of 16.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3531.1216216
Subtracting 444 from 460 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
74 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 12.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3531.12162162
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 148 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3531.12162162 and a remainder of 1.2e-08.
