Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 23 / 742

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 742 fits into 23 0 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 23 to get 23.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 237 / 742

On to step 3:
742 can be fit into 237 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 237.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 237 to get 237.

Going ahead to step 4:
742 can be fit into 2372 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 146.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 2226 away from 2372, we end up with 146.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 146 and continue: 1463 / 742

On to step 5:
1463 divided by 742 is 1 with a remainder of 721.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtracting 742 from 1463 leaves us with 721.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 721 and continue: 7218 / 742

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 742 fits into 7218 9 times, leaving a remainder of 540.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 319.0
Subtracting 6678 from 7218 leaves us with 540.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 540, then repeat: 5407 / 742

Let's proceed to step 7:
742 goes into 5407 7 times with a remainder of 213.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3197.0
Deduct 5194 from 5407 and we're left with 213.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 213 and repeat the process: 2131 / 742

On to step 8:
2131 divided by 742 is 2 with a remainder of 647.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31972.0
Deduct 1484 from 2131 and we're left with 647.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6470, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
742 can be fit into 6470 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 534.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31972.8
Deduct 5936 from 6470 and we're left with 534.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 5340 by 742, we get 7 with a remainder of 146.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31972.87
Subtract 5194 from 5340 to get 146.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1460, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
742 can be fit into 1460 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 718.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31972.871
Subtract 742 from 1460 to get 718.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7180, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
742 can be fit into 7180 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 502.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31972.8719
Subtracting 6678 from 7180 leaves us with 502.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5020, and continue the process.

Step 13:
5020 divided by 742 is 6 with a remainder of 568.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31972.87196
If we take 4452 away from 5020, we end up with 568.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5680, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
742 can be fit into 5680 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 486.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31972.871967
If we take 5194 away from 5680, we end up with 486.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4860, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
The number 742 fits into 4860 6 times, leaving a remainder of 408.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31972.8719676
If we subtract 4452 from 4860, we get 408.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4080, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
If we divide 4080 by 742, we get 5 and a remainder of 370.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31972.87196765
Subtract 3710 from 4080 to get 370.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3700, and continue the process.

The final result is 31972.87196765 with a remainder of 3.7e-07.
