264771 divided by 74 
We're looking to find how many times 74 goes into 264771.

Step 1:
74 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 26 / 74

Step 2:
74 goes into 26 0 times with a remainder of 26.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 0 from 26.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 264 / 74

Moving on to step 3:
The number 74 fits into 264 3 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 222 from 264.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 427 / 74

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 427 by 74, we get 5 and a remainder of 57.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 35.0
If we take 370 away from 427, we end up with 57.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 57, then repeat: 577 / 74

Step 5:
74 goes into 577 7 times with a remainder of 59.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 357.0
Subtracting 518 from 577 leaves us with 59.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 59, then carry on: 591 / 74

Moving on to step 6:
The number 74 fits into 591 7 times, leaving a remainder of 73.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3577.0
Deduct 518 from 591 and we're left with 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 730 by 74, we get 9 and a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3577.9
Subtract 666 from 730 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
640 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 48.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3577.98
Subtract 592 from 640 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 480 by 74, we get 6 and a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3577.986
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 444 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 10:
360 divided by 74 is 4 with a remainder of 64.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3577.9864
If we take 296 away from 360, we end up with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
74 can be fit into 640 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3577.98648
If we subtract 592 from 640, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
480 divided by 74 is 6 with a remainder of 36.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3577.986486
If we subtract 444 from 480, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 360 by 74, we get 4 and a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3577.9864864
If we subtract 296 from 360, we get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 640 by 74, we get 8 and a remainder of 48.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3577.98648648
Deduct 592 from 640 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3577.98648648, and the remainder is 4.8e-08.
