We divide 204658 by 74
Our goal is to divide 204658 by 74.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 20 / 74

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 20 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 204 / 74

On to step 3:
74 goes into 204 2 times with a remainder of 56.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 148 from 204 leaves us with 56.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 56, then carry on: 566 / 74

Let's proceed to step 4:
566 divided by 74 is 7 with a remainder of 48.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27.0
If we subtract 518 from 566, we get 48.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 48, then repeat: 485 / 74

Moving on to step 5:
74 goes into 485 6 times with a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 276.0
Subtract 444 from 485 to get 41.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 41, then repeat: 418 / 74

Moving on to step 6:
418 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 48.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2765.0
If we take 370 away from 418, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 74 fits into 480 6 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2765.6
Subtract 444 from 480 to 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.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 360 by 74, we get 4 and a remainder of 64.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2765.64
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.

Step 9:
When dividing 640 by 74, we get 8 with a remainder of 48.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2765.648
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 592 from 640.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
480 divided by 74 is 6 with a remainder of 36.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2765.6486
Subtracting 444 from 480 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
74 can be fit into 360 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2765.64864
Subtracting 296 from 360 leaves us 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.

Step 12:
74 goes into 640 8 times with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2765.648648
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 592 from 640.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 480 by 74, we get 6 and a remainder of 36.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2765.6486486
Deduct 444 from 480 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 360 by 74, we get 4 with a remainder of 64.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2765.64864864
Deduct 296 from 360 and we're left 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.

The final result is 2765.64864864 with a remainder of 6.4e-08.
