We're dividing 2004 by 74 
We want to figure out the number of times 2004 can be divided by 74.

On to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 20 / 74

Step 2:
74 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 200 / 74

Step 3:
200 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 52.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 148 from 200 leaves us with 52.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 52 and continue with: 524 / 74

Let's proceed to step 4:
524 divided by 74 is 7 with a remainder of 6.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27.0
Subtract 518 from 524 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 5:
74 goes into 60 0 times with a remainder of 60.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27.0
If we subtract 0 from 60, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Step 6:
If we divide 600 by 74, we get 8 and a remainder of 8.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27.08
If we take 592 away from 600, 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.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 80 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 27.081
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 74 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 60 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 27.081
If we subtract 0 from 60, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 74 fits into 600 8 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27.08108
If we take 592 away from 600, 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 10:
74 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 6.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27.081081
Subtracting 74 from 80 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
74 goes into 60 0 times with a remainder of 60.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27.081081
Deduct 0 from 60 and we're left with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
74 can be fit into 600 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27.08108108
Deduct 592 from 600 and we're left 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.

The final result is 27.08108108 with a remainder of 8e-09.
