We divide 298903 by 74
Our goal is to divide 298903 by 74.

Advancing to step 1:
74 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
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

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 29 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 29.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 29 to get 29.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 298 / 74

On to step 3:
74 goes into 298 4 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 296 from 298, we get 2.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 29 / 74

Step 4:
When dividing 29 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 29.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 40.0
If we take 0 away from 29, we end up with 29.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 290 / 74

Let's proceed to step 5:
74 goes into 290 3 times with a remainder of 68.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 403.0
If we subtract 222 from 290, we get 68.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 68 and continue with: 683 / 74

Going ahead to step 6:
74 goes into 683 9 times with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 4039.0
If we take 666 away from 683, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 74 fits into 170 2 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4039.2
Deduct 148 from 170 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 220 by 74, we get 2 with a remainder of 72.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4039.22
If we subtract 148 from 220, we get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

The final result is 4039.22 with a remainder of 0.072.
