We divide 542479 by 76
We're looking to find how many times 76 goes into 542479.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 76 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 54 / 76

On to step 2:
54 divided by 76 is 0 with a remainder of 54.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 54 and we're left with 54.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 54 and continue: 542 / 76

Step 3:
If we divide 542 by 76, we get 7 and a remainder of 10.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 532 from 542, we get 10.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 104 / 76

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 104 by 76, we get 1 and a remainder of 28.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 71.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 76 from 104.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 287 / 76

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 287 by 76, we get 3 and a remainder of 59.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 713.0
Subtract 228 from 287 to get 59.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 59, then repeat: 599 / 76

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 76 fits into 599 7 times, leaving a remainder of 67.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7137.0
If we take 532 away from 599, we end up with 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 670 by 76, we get 8 and a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 7137.8
Subtracting 608 from 670 leaves us with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
620 divided by 76 is 8 with a remainder of 12.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7137.88
If we subtract 608 from 620, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

The final result is 7137.88 with a remainder of 0.012.
