We look at the division of 73842 by 31 
Let's see how many times 31 fits into 73842.

Let's proceed to step 1:
7 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 73 / 31

On to step 2:
73 divided by 31 is 2 with a remainder of 11.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 62 away from 73, we end up with 11.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 118 / 31

Advancing to step 3:
118 divided by 31 is 3 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23.0
If we subtract 93 from 118, we get 25.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 254 / 31

Let's proceed to step 4:
254 divided by 31 is 8 with a remainder of 6.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 238.0
Subtract 248 from 254 to get 6.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 62 / 31

Advancing to step 5:
31 goes into 62 2 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2382.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 62 from 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
0 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2382.0
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up 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:
31 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2382.0
If we subtract 0 from 0, we 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.

Our division results in 2382.0 with a remaining 0.0.
