We're dividing 74387879 by 290 
We're looking to find how many times 290 goes into 74387879.

Step 1:
When dividing 7 by 290, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 74 / 290

Going ahead to step 2:
290 can be fit into 74 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 74.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 74 after subtracting 0 from 74.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 74, then repeat: 743 / 290

Going ahead to step 3:
743 divided by 290 is 2 with a remainder of 163.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 580 from 743 to get 163.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 163 and continue with: 1638 / 290

On to step 4:
The number 290 fits into 1638 5 times, leaving a remainder of 188.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25.0
Subtracting 1450 from 1638 leaves us with 188.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 188 and continue with: 1887 / 290

Going ahead to step 5:
290 goes into 1887 6 times with a remainder of 147.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 256.0
Deduct 1740 from 1887 and we're left with 147.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 147, then carry on: 1478 / 290

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 1478 by 290, we get 5 and a remainder of 28.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2565.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 1450 from 1478.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 287 / 290

Moving on to step 7:
290 goes into 287 0 times with a remainder of 287.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25650.0
Subtracting 0 from 287 leaves us with 287.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 287, then repeat: 2879 / 290

Moving on to step 8:
290 can be fit into 2879 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 269.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 256509.0
Subtracting 2610 from 2879 leaves us with 269.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2690, and continue the process.

Step 9:
2690 divided by 290 is 9 with a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 256509.9
Subtract 2610 from 2690 to get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
290 can be fit into 800 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 220.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 256509.92
Subtract 580 from 800 to get 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2200, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
2200 divided by 290 is 7 with a remainder of 170.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 256509.927
If we subtract 2030 from 2200, we get 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1700, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
290 can be fit into 1700 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 250.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 256509.9275
If we subtract 1450 from 1700, we get 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2500, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 2500 by 290, we get 8 with a remainder of 180.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 256509.92758
Subtract 2320 from 2500 to get 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1800, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
290 goes into 1800 6 times with a remainder of 60.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 256509.927586
If we take 1740 away from 1800, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 15:
If we divide 600 by 290, we get 2 and a remainder of 20.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 256509.9275862
Subtract 580 from 600 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
290 goes into 200 0 times with a remainder of 200.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 256509.9275862
Subtracting 0 from 200 leaves us with 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2000, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 256509.9275862, and the remainder is 2e-07.
