We're dividing 236698 by 74 
We're looking to find how many times 74 goes into 236698.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 23 / 74

On to step 2:
When dividing 23 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 23.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 0 from 23.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 236 / 74

Advancing to step 3:
The number 74 fits into 236 3 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 222 away from 236, we end up with 14.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 146 / 74

Step 4:
When dividing 146 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 72.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31.0
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 74 from 146.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 72 and continue with: 729 / 74

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 729 by 74, we get 9 with a remainder of 63.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 319.0
If we take 666 away from 729, we end up with 63.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 63, then repeat: 638 / 74

Moving on to step 6:
74 can be fit into 638 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3198.0
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 592 from 638.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Step 7:
74 can be fit into 460 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3198.6
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.

On to step 8:
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: 3198.62
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.

Moving on to step 9:
74 goes into 120 1 times with a remainder of 46.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3198.621
Subtracting 74 from 120 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 10:
74 goes into 460 6 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3198.6216
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 11:
74 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3198.62162
If we subtract 148 from 160, we 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.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 120 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3198.621621
If we subtract 74 from 120, we 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 13:
If we divide 460 by 74, we get 6 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3198.6216216
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.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 160 by 74, we get 2 and a remainder of 12.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3198.62162162
If we subtract 148 from 160, we 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 3198.62162162 with a balance of 1.2e-08.
