We look at the division of 142557 by 7 
Our goal is to divide 142557 by 7.

On to step 1:
7 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 7

Moving on to step 2:
7 goes into 14 2 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 14 away from 14, we end up with 0.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 2 / 7

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 2 by 7, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 25 / 7

On to step 4:
7 can be fit into 25 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 203.0
If we take 21 away from 25, we end up with 4.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 45 / 7

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 45 by 7, we get 6 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2036.0
If we take 42 away from 45, we end up with 3.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 37 / 7

Moving on to step 6:
37 divided by 7 is 5 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 20365.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 35 from 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 7 fits into 20 2 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20365.2
Deduct 14 from 20 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
7 can be fit into 60 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20365.28
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 56 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
7 goes into 40 5 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20365.285
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 35 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
7 can be fit into 50 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20365.2857
If we subtract 49 from 50, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
7 can be fit into 10 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20365.28571
Subtracting 7 from 10 leaves us with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 30 by 7, we get 4 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20365.285714
If we take 28 away from 30, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
7 goes into 20 2 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20365.2857142
If we subtract 14 from 20, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 60 by 7, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 20365.28571428
Subtracting 56 from 60 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 20365.28571428 with a balance of 4e-09.
