We're dividing 291687 by 74 
Let's see how many times 74 fits into 291687.

Moving on to step 1:
2 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 29 / 74

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 29 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 29.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 0 from 29.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 291 / 74

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 74 fits into 291 3 times, leaving a remainder of 69.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 222 from 291 leaves us with 69.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 69 and continue: 696 / 74

On to step 4:
When dividing 696 by 74, we get 9 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 39.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 666 from 696.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 308 / 74

Step 5:
74 goes into 308 4 times with a remainder of 12.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 394.0
If we take 296 away from 308, we end up with 12.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 127 / 74

Let's proceed to step 6:
74 can be fit into 127 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 53.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3941.0
If we take 74 away from 127, we end up with 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 530 by 74, we get 7 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3941.7
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 518 from 530.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
74 can be fit into 120 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3941.71
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 74 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
74 can be fit into 460 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3941.716
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
160 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 12.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3941.7162
Subtract 148 from 160 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
74 can be fit into 120 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3941.71621
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 74 fits into 460 6 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3941.716216
Subtract 444 from 460 to get 16.
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 13:
The number 74 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3941.7162162
If we take 148 away from 160, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 120 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 46.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3941.71621621
If we take 74 away from 120, we end up with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3941.71621621 with a remaining 4.6e-08.
