We divide 2498735 by 742
Let's see how many times 742 fits into 2498735.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 742, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 742

On to step 2:
742 goes into 24 0 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 24 and we're left with 24.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 249 / 742

On to step 3:
If we divide 249 by 742, we get 0 and a remainder of 249.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 249 to get 249.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 249 and continue with: 2498 / 742

Step 4:
When dividing 2498 by 742, we get 3 with a remainder of 272.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 2226 away from 2498, we end up with 272.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 272 and continue: 2727 / 742

Let's proceed to step 5:
742 can be fit into 2727 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 501.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 33.0
Subtract 2226 from 2727 to get 501.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 501, then carry on: 5013 / 742

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 5013 by 742, we get 6 with a remainder of 561.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 336.0
Subtract 4452 from 5013 to get 561.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 561 and continue with: 5615 / 742

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 5615 by 742, we get 7 and a remainder of 421.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3367.0
Subtract 5194 from 5615 to get 421.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4210, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 4210 by 742, we get 5 with a remainder of 500.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3367.5
Subtracting 3710 from 4210 leaves us with 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5000, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
742 can be fit into 5000 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 548.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3367.56
Subtracting 4452 from 5000 leaves us with 548.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 5480 by 742, we get 7 with a remainder of 286.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3367.567
The remainder is 286 after subtracting 5194 from 5480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2860, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 742 fits into 2860 3 times, leaving a remainder of 634.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3367.5673
Subtract 2226 from 2860 to get 634.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
742 can be fit into 6340 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 404.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3367.56738
If we take 5936 away from 6340, we end up with 404.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4040, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
742 can be fit into 4040 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 330.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3367.567385
If we subtract 3710 from 4040, we get 330.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3300, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
742 can be fit into 3300 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 332.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3367.5673854
If we take 2968 away from 3300, we end up with 332.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
3320 divided by 742 is 4 with a remainder of 352.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3367.56738544
Subtract 2968 from 3320 to get 352.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3520, and continue the process.

The final result is 3367.56738544 with a remainder of 3.52e-07.
