We're dividing 140542 by 66 
We want to divide 140542 by 66.

On to step 1:
66 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 66

On to step 2:
The number 66 fits into 14 0 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 14 and we're left with 14.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 140 / 66

On to step 3:
66 goes into 140 2 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 132 away from 140, we end up with 8.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 85 / 66

Moving on to step 4:
85 divided by 66 is 1 with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we take 66 away from 85, we end up with 19.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 194 / 66

Advancing to step 5:
66 goes into 194 2 times with a remainder of 62.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 212.0
Deduct 132 from 194 and we're left with 62.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 62 and continue with: 622 / 66

Going ahead to step 6:
66 goes into 622 9 times with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2129.0
If we subtract 594 from 622, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
66 goes into 280 4 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2129.4
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 264 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 160 by 66, we get 2 and a remainder of 28.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2129.42
Subtract 132 from 160 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
66 goes into 280 4 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2129.424
If we take 264 away from 280, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
66 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 28.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2129.4242
Subtracting 132 from 160 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 66 fits into 280 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2129.42424
Subtracting 264 from 280 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 66 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2129.424242
Subtracting 132 from 160 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 66 fits into 280 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2129.4242424
Subtract 264 from 280 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 66 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2129.42424242
If we subtract 132 from 160, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

The final result is 2129.42424242 with a remainder of 2.8e-08.
