We look at the division of 5498761 by 642 
Let's see how many times 642 fits into 5498761.

On to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 642, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 54 / 642

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 642 fits into 54 0 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 54 and we're left with 54.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 54 and continue with: 549 / 642

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 549 by 642, we get 0 with a remainder of 549.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 549 and we're left with 549.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 549 and continue with: 5498 / 642

Step 4:
5498 divided by 642 is 8 with a remainder of 362.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 362 after subtracting 5136 from 5498.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 362, then repeat: 3627 / 642

Let's proceed to step 5:
3627 divided by 642 is 5 with a remainder of 417.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 85.0
Subtracting 3210 from 3627 leaves us with 417.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 417, then carry on: 4176 / 642

Step 6:
If we divide 4176 by 642, we get 6 and a remainder of 324.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 856.0
Subtract 3852 from 4176 to get 324.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 324, then repeat: 3241 / 642

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 3241 by 642, we get 5 and a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8565.0
Subtracting 3210 from 3241 leaves us with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
642 goes into 310 0 times with a remainder of 310.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8565.0
If we subtract 0 from 310, we get 310.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3100, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 3100 by 642, we get 4 and a remainder of 532.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 8565.04
Deduct 2568 from 3100 and we're left with 532.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 642 fits into 5320 8 times, leaving a remainder of 184.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8565.048
Subtracting 5136 from 5320 leaves us with 184.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1840, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 1840 by 642, we get 2 and a remainder of 556.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8565.0482
The remainder is 556 after subtracting 1284 from 1840.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5560, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 5560 by 642, we get 8 and a remainder of 424.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8565.04828
Subtracting 5136 from 5560 leaves us with 424.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
4240 divided by 642 is 6 with a remainder of 388.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8565.048286
If we subtract 3852 from 4240, we get 388.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3880, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 642 fits into 3880 6 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 8565.0482866
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 3852 from 3880.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 8565.0482866, and the remainder is 2.8e-07.
