We're dividing 71529581 by 542 
We want to divide 71529581 by 542.

Advancing to step 1:
542 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 71 / 542

Going ahead to step 2:
542 can be fit into 71 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 71.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 71 after subtracting 0 from 71.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 71, then repeat: 715 / 542

Going ahead to step 3:
542 goes into 715 1 times with a remainder of 173.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 542 from 715, we get 173.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 173, then repeat: 1732 / 542

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 1732 by 542, we get 3 with a remainder of 106.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we take 1626 away from 1732, we end up with 106.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 106, then repeat: 1069 / 542

Advancing to step 5:
542 can be fit into 1069 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 527.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 131.0
Subtracting 542 from 1069 leaves us with 527.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 527 and repeat the process: 5275 / 542

Step 6:
542 can be fit into 5275 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 397.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1319.0
If we subtract 4878 from 5275, we get 397.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 397 and continue with: 3978 / 542

On to step 7:
542 can be fit into 3978 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 184.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 13197.0
Subtract 3794 from 3978 to get 184.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 184, then repeat: 1841 / 542

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 1841 by 542, we get 3 with a remainder of 215.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 131973.0
Subtracting 1626 from 1841 leaves us with 215.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2150, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 2150 by 542, we get 3 with a remainder of 524.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 131973.3
Subtract 1626 from 2150 to get 524.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5240, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 542 fits into 5240 9 times, leaving a remainder of 362.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 131973.39
Deduct 4878 from 5240 and we're left with 362.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3620, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
542 goes into 3620 6 times with a remainder of 368.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 131973.396
If we take 3252 away from 3620, we end up with 368.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3680, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 3680 by 542, we get 6 with a remainder of 428.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 131973.3966
The remainder is 428 after subtracting 3252 from 3680.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4280, and continue the process.

Our division results in 131973.3966 with a remaining 0.00428.
