We divide 142287 by 76
We're looking to find how many times 76 goes into 142287.

Step 1:
The number 76 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 14 / 76

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 14 by 76, we get 0 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 14 to get 14.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 142 / 76

Going ahead to step 3:
76 can be fit into 142 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 66.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 76 away from 142, we end up with 66.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 66 and repeat the process: 662 / 76

Going ahead to step 4:
76 can be fit into 662 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we subtract 608 from 662, we get 54.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 54 and continue with: 548 / 76

Step 5:
548 divided by 76 is 7 with a remainder of 16.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 187.0
If we take 532 away from 548, we end up with 16.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 167 / 76

Step 6:
76 goes into 167 2 times with a remainder of 15.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1872.0
If we subtract 152 from 167, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
76 can be fit into 150 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 74.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1872.1
If we subtract 76 from 150, we get 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Step 8:
76 can be fit into 740 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1872.19
Deduct 684 from 740 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 560 by 76, we get 7 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1872.197
If we subtract 532 from 560, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 280 by 76, we get 3 and a remainder of 52.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1872.1973
Subtracting 228 from 280 leaves us with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
76 goes into 520 6 times with a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1872.19736
Subtract 456 from 520 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 640 by 76, we get 8 with a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1872.197368
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 608 from 640.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 320 by 76, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1872.1973684
Deduct 304 from 320 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
76 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1872.19736842
If we subtract 152 from 160, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 1872.19736842 with a balance of 8e-09.
