We look at the division of 74888 by 24 
We want to figure out the number of times 74888 can be divided by 24.

Let's proceed to step 1:
7 divided by 24 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 74 / 24

Let's proceed to step 2:
74 divided by 24 is 3 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 72 away from 74, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 24

Moving on to step 3:
The number 24 fits into 28 1 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtracting 24 from 28 leaves us with 4.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 48 / 24

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 24 fits into 48 2 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 312.0
If we subtract 48 from 48, we get 0.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 8 / 24

Going ahead to step 5:
24 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3120.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
When dividing 80 by 24, we get 3 with a remainder of 8.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3120.3
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 72 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 80 by 24, we get 3 with a remainder of 8.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3120.33
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 72 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3120.33 and a remainder of 0.008.
