We look at the division of 265440 by 74 
We want to figure out the number of times 265440 can be divided by 74.

Advancing to 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
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 26 / 74

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 74 fits into 26 0 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 0 from 26.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 265 / 74

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 74 fits into 265 3 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 222 from 265.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 43, then repeat: 434 / 74

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 434 by 74, we get 5 with a remainder of 64.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 35.0
Subtracting 370 from 434 leaves us with 64.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 64, then repeat: 644 / 74

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 644 by 74, we get 8 and a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 358.0
Subtracting 592 from 644 leaves us with 52.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 52 and repeat the process: 520 / 74

Step 6:
520 divided by 74 is 7 with a remainder of 2.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3587.0
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.

Advancing to step 7:
74 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3587.0
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
74 can be fit into 200 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3587.02
Subtract 148 from 200 to 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.

On to step 9:
When dividing 520 by 74, we get 7 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3587.027
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 518 from 520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
74 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3587.027
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 200 by 74, we get 2 and a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3587.02702
If we take 148 away from 200, we end up with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
520 divided by 74 is 7 with a remainder of 2.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3587.027027
If we take 518 away from 520, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 13:
20 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3587.027027
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
74 can be fit into 200 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3587.02702702
If we subtract 148 from 200, 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.

The quotient of the division is 3587.02702702, and the remainder is 5.2e-08.
