74242871 divided by 286 
We're looking to find how many times 286 goes into 74242871.

Step 1:
7 divided by 286 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
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 / 286

On to step 2:
286 can be fit into 74 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 74.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 74, we get 74.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 74, then repeat: 742 / 286

Advancing to step 3:
286 goes into 742 2 times with a remainder of 170.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 572 from 742, we get 170.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 170 and continue: 1704 / 286

Going ahead to step 4:
286 can be fit into 1704 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 274.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25.0
Deduct 1430 from 1704 and we're left with 274.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 274 and continue: 2742 / 286

On to step 5:
286 can be fit into 2742 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 168.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 259.0
Subtracting 2574 from 2742 leaves us with 168.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 168 and repeat the process: 1688 / 286

On to step 6:
The number 286 fits into 1688 5 times, leaving a remainder of 258.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2595.0
The remainder is 258 after subtracting 1430 from 1688.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 258 and continue: 2587 / 286

Let's proceed to step 7:
286 can be fit into 2587 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25959.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 2574 from 2587.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 131 / 286

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 131 by 286, we get 0 and a remainder of 131.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 259590.0
If we subtract 0 from 131, we get 131.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1310, and continue the process.

Step 9:
1310 divided by 286 is 4 with a remainder of 166.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 259590.4
Subtracting 1144 from 1310 leaves us with 166.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1660, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
286 goes into 1660 5 times with a remainder of 230.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 259590.45
The remainder is 230 after subtracting 1430 from 1660.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 2300 by 286, we get 8 and a remainder of 12.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 259590.458
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 2288 from 2300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 12:
120 divided by 286 is 0 with a remainder of 120.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 259590.458
If we take 0 away from 120, we end up with 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 1200 by 286, we get 4 with a remainder of 56.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 259590.45804
Deduct 1144 from 1200 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 560 by 286, we get 1 with a remainder of 274.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 259590.458041
The remainder is 274 after subtracting 286 from 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2740, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
286 can be fit into 2740 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 166.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 259590.4580419
Subtracting 2574 from 2740 leaves us with 166.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1660, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
If we divide 1660 by 286, we get 5 and a remainder of 230.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 259590.45804195
The remainder is 230 after subtracting 1430 from 1660.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2300, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 259590.45804195, with a leftover of 2.3e-07.
