We look at the division of 288262 by 74 
Our goal is to divide 288262 by 74.

On to step 1:
The number 74 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 74

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 74 fits into 28 0 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 28, we get 28.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 288 / 74

Advancing to step 3:
74 goes into 288 3 times with a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 222 from 288, we get 66.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 66 and repeat the process: 662 / 74

Moving on to step 4:
74 goes into 662 8 times with a remainder of 70.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 38.0
Deduct 592 from 662 and we're left with 70.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 70, then repeat: 706 / 74

On to step 5:
If we divide 706 by 74, we get 9 and a remainder of 40.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 389.0
Subtract 666 from 706 to get 40.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 402 / 74

On to step 6:
If we divide 402 by 74, we get 5 and a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3895.0
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 370 from 402.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
74 goes into 320 4 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3895.4
Subtracting 296 from 320 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
74 can be fit into 240 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3895.43
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 222 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
74 can be fit into 180 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3895.432
Deduct 148 from 180 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
320 divided by 74 is 4 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3895.4324
If we take 296 away from 320, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
74 goes into 240 3 times with a remainder of 18.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3895.43243
Subtract 222 from 240 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
180 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 32.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3895.432432
Subtracting 148 from 180 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 320 by 74, we get 4 and a remainder of 24.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3895.4324324
Deduct 296 from 320 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
74 goes into 240 3 times with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3895.43243243
Subtracting 222 from 240 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3895.43243243 and a remainder of 1.8e-08.
