Let's divide 287400 by 74
Our goal is to divide 287400 by 74.

On 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
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 74

Going ahead to step 2:
74 can be fit into 28 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 28 and we're left with 28.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 287 / 74

On to step 3:
74 goes into 287 3 times with a remainder of 65.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 222 from 287 to get 65.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 65 and continue: 654 / 74

Moving on to step 4:
654 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 38.0
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 592 from 654.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 62, then repeat: 620 / 74

Step 5:
620 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 388.0
If we take 592 away from 620, we end up with 28.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 280 / 74

On to step 6:
74 goes into 280 3 times with a remainder of 58.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3883.0
Deduct 222 from 280 and we're left with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 580 by 74, we get 7 and a remainder of 62.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3883.7
Deduct 518 from 580 and we're left with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
620 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 28.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3883.78
Deduct 592 from 620 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 74 fits into 280 3 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3883.783
If we take 222 away from 280, we end up with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
74 can be fit into 580 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3883.7837
Deduct 518 from 580 and we're left with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 74 fits into 620 8 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3883.78378
Deduct 592 from 620 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
74 can be fit into 280 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3883.783783
Subtract 222 from 280 to get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 74 fits into 580 7 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3883.7837837
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 518 from 580.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
74 goes into 620 8 times with a remainder of 28.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3883.78378378
If we take 592 away from 620, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3883.78378378 with a balance of 2.8e-08.
