We're dividing 2983117 by 742 
Let's see how many times 742 fits into 2983117.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 742, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 29 / 742

Step 2:
742 goes into 29 0 times with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 29 leaves us with 29.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 298 / 742

Let's proceed to step 3:
742 goes into 298 0 times with a remainder of 298.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 298 leaves us with 298.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 298 and repeat the process: 2983 / 742

Step 4:
When dividing 2983 by 742, we get 4 with a remainder of 15.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 2968 from 2983 leaves us with 15.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 151 / 742

Step 5:
742 goes into 151 0 times with a remainder of 151.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 40.0
Subtracting 0 from 151 leaves us with 151.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 151, then repeat: 1511 / 742

Step 6:
742 can be fit into 1511 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 402.0
Subtracting 1484 from 1511 leaves us with 27.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 277 / 742

Step 7:
The number 742 fits into 277 0 times, leaving a remainder of 277.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 4020.0
If we subtract 0 from 277, we get 277.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2770, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 2770 by 742, we get 3 with a remainder of 544.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4020.3
If we subtract 2226 from 2770, we get 544.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
742 can be fit into 5440 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 246.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4020.37
Deduct 5194 from 5440 and we're left with 246.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2460, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 742 fits into 2460 3 times, leaving a remainder of 234.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4020.373
Subtracting 2226 from 2460 leaves us with 234.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2340, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
742 can be fit into 2340 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 114.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 4020.3733
Deduct 2226 from 2340 and we're left with 114.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1140, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 4020.3733 and a remainder of 0.00114.
