We divide 218238 by 74
We want to figure out the number of times 218238 can be divided by 74.

Advancing to 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
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 21 / 74

Moving on to step 2:
74 goes into 21 0 times with a remainder of 21.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 21 to get 21.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 218 / 74

Step 3:
74 goes into 218 2 times with a remainder of 70.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 148 from 218, we get 70.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 70, then carry on: 702 / 74

Step 4:
74 can be fit into 702 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 29.0
Subtracting 666 from 702 leaves us with 36.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 363 / 74

On to step 5:
When dividing 363 by 74, we get 4 with a remainder of 67.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 294.0
Subtract 296 from 363 to get 67.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 67 and continue: 678 / 74

Step 6:
When dividing 678 by 74, we get 9 with a remainder of 12.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2949.0
Subtracting 666 from 678 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
74 can be fit into 120 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2949.1
If we take 74 away from 120, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
460 divided by 74 is 6 with a remainder of 16.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2949.16
If we subtract 444 from 460, we 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.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 74 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2949.162
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 148 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 74 fits into 120 1 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2949.1621
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
74 goes into 460 6 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2949.16216
Deduct 444 from 460 and we're left with 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 12:
The number 74 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2949.162162
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 13:
74 goes into 120 1 times with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2949.1621621
If we take 74 away from 120, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 460 by 74, we get 6 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2949.16216216
If we take 444 away from 460, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The final result is 2949.16216216 with a remainder of 1.6e-08.
