72542783 divided by 342 
We're looking to find how many times 342 goes into 72542783.

Let's proceed to step 1:
342 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 72 / 342

Step 2:
72 divided by 342 is 0 with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 0 from 72.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 72, then repeat: 725 / 342

Let's proceed to step 3:
342 goes into 725 2 times with a remainder of 41.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 684 from 725 and we're left with 41.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 41, then carry on: 414 / 342

Going ahead to step 4:
342 goes into 414 1 times with a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtract 342 from 414 to get 72.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 72, then repeat: 722 / 342

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 722 by 342, we get 2 with a remainder of 38.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 212.0
Subtracting 684 from 722 leaves us with 38.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 38 and repeat the process: 387 / 342

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 387 by 342, we get 1 with a remainder of 45.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2121.0
Subtract 342 from 387 to get 45.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 45, then repeat: 458 / 342

Moving on to step 7:
342 goes into 458 1 times with a remainder of 116.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21211.0
Subtract 342 from 458 to get 116.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 116 and continue with: 1163 / 342

Advancing to step 8:
342 goes into 1163 3 times with a remainder of 137.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 212113.0
Deduct 1026 from 1163 and we're left with 137.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1370, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 342 fits into 1370 4 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 212113.4
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 1368 from 1370.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
342 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 212113.4
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
342 can be fit into 200 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 200.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 212113.4
Subtract 0 from 200 to get 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 final outcome is 212113.4, with a leftover of 0.02.
