764142 ÷ 3 
We want to divide 764142 by 3.

Going ahead to step 1:
3 goes into 7 2 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 6 from 7 and we're left with 1.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 16 / 3

Step 2:
The number 3 fits into 16 5 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 25.0
If we take 15 away from 16, we end up with 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 3

On to step 3:
If we divide 14 by 3, we get 4 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 254.0
Subtracting 12 from 14 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 21 / 3

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 3 fits into 21 7 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2547.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 21 from 21.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 4 / 3

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 4 by 3, we get 1 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25471.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 3 from 4.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 12 / 3

Step 6:
If we divide 12 by 3, we get 4 and a remainder of 0.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 254714.0
Deduct 12 from 12 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
3 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 254714.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 8:
3 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 254714.0
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final result is 254714.0 with a remainder of 0.0.
