12004805 ÷ 742 
Our goal is to divide 12004805 by 742.

Going ahead to step 1:
1 divided by 742 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 12 / 742

Step 2:
742 can be fit into 12 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 0 from 12.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 120 / 742

Moving on to step 3:
742 can be fit into 120 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 120.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 120, we get 120.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 120, then carry on: 1200 / 742

Step 4:
742 goes into 1200 1 times with a remainder of 458.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 742 away from 1200, we end up with 458.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 458, then repeat: 4584 / 742

Step 5:
The number 742 fits into 4584 6 times, leaving a remainder of 132.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Deduct 4452 from 4584 and we're left with 132.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 132 and continue: 1328 / 742

Let's proceed to step 6:
742 goes into 1328 1 times with a remainder of 586.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 161.0
Subtract 742 from 1328 to get 586.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 586 and continue: 5860 / 742

Let's proceed to step 7:
742 goes into 5860 7 times with a remainder of 666.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1617.0
The remainder is 666 after subtracting 5194 from 5860.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 666, then repeat: 6665 / 742

Let's proceed to step 8:
6665 divided by 742 is 8 with a remainder of 729.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16178.0
Subtracting 5936 from 6665 leaves us with 729.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7290, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
742 goes into 7290 9 times with a remainder of 612.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16178.9
The remainder is 612 after subtracting 6678 from 7290.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
6120 divided by 742 is 8 with a remainder of 184.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16178.98
Deduct 5936 from 6120 and we're left with 184.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1840, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
742 can be fit into 1840 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 356.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16178.982
The remainder is 356 after subtracting 1484 from 1840.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 3560 by 742, we get 4 with a remainder of 592.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16178.9824
Deduct 2968 from 3560 and we're left with 592.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5920, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
5920 divided by 742 is 7 with a remainder of 726.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16178.98247
If we take 5194 away from 5920, we end up with 726.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
742 goes into 7260 9 times with a remainder of 582.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16178.982479
Subtracting 6678 from 7260 leaves us with 582.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5820, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
When dividing 5820 by 742, we get 7 with a remainder of 626.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16178.9824797
If we take 5194 away from 5820, we end up with 626.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
The number 742 fits into 6260 8 times, leaving a remainder of 324.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 16178.98247978
Subtracting 5936 from 6260 leaves us with 324.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3240, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 16178.98247978 with a balance of 3.24e-07.
