142642 divided by 73 
We want to divide 142642 by 73.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 73

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 14 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 14 to get 14.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 142 / 73

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 142 by 73, we get 1 and a remainder of 69.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 73 from 142 to get 69.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 69, then repeat: 696 / 73

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 696 by 73, we get 9 and a remainder of 39.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19.0
If we take 657 away from 696, we end up with 39.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 39 and continue with: 394 / 73

Going ahead to step 5:
394 divided by 73 is 5 with a remainder of 29.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 195.0
Deduct 365 from 394 and we're left with 29.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 292 / 73

Going ahead to step 6:
73 goes into 292 4 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1954.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 292 from 292.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 0 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1954.0
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 0 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1954.0
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Our division results in 1954.0 with a remaining 0.0.
