We're dividing 281164 by 74 
Let's see how many times 74 fits into 281164.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 74

Step 2:
If we divide 28 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 28.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 28, we get 28.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 281 / 74

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 281 by 74, we get 3 with a remainder of 59.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 222 from 281 to get 59.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 59 and continue: 591 / 74

On to step 4:
When dividing 591 by 74, we get 7 with a remainder of 73.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37.0
Subtract 518 from 591 to get 73.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 73, then repeat: 736 / 74

Going ahead to step 5:
736 divided by 74 is 9 with a remainder of 70.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 379.0
Subtracting 666 from 736 leaves us with 70.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 70, then carry on: 704 / 74

Step 6:
74 goes into 704 9 times with a remainder of 38.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3799.0
Deduct 666 from 704 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 74 fits into 380 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3799.5
Deduct 370 from 380 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 74 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3799.51
Subtract 74 from 100 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 74 fits into 260 3 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3799.513
If we subtract 222 from 260, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
74 goes into 380 5 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3799.5135
If we subtract 370 from 380, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 74 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3799.51351
If we subtract 74 from 100, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 260 by 74, we get 3 and a remainder of 38.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3799.513513
If we subtract 222 from 260, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 74 fits into 380 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3799.5135135
Deduct 370 from 380 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 100 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3799.51351351
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 74 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3799.51351351 with a remaining 2.6e-08.
