Let's divide 8640538 by 142
We're looking to find how many times 142 goes into 8640538.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 142, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 86 / 142

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 86 by 142, we get 0 with a remainder of 86.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 86 to get 86.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 86 and continue: 864 / 142

Advancing to step 3:
The number 142 fits into 864 6 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 852 away from 864, we end up with 12.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 120 / 142

Let's proceed to step 4:
142 goes into 120 0 times with a remainder of 120.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 60.0
If we take 0 away from 120, we end up with 120.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 120, then repeat: 1205 / 142

On to step 5:
If we divide 1205 by 142, we get 8 and a remainder of 69.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 608.0
Deduct 1136 from 1205 and we're left with 69.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 69, then repeat: 693 / 142

Advancing to step 6:
142 goes into 693 4 times with a remainder of 125.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6084.0
Subtracting 568 from 693 leaves us with 125.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 125 and continue: 1258 / 142

On to step 7:
When dividing 1258 by 142, we get 8 with a remainder of 122.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 60848.0
Subtracting 1136 from 1258 leaves us with 122.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 1220 by 142, we get 8 with a remainder of 84.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 60848.8
Subtract 1136 from 1220 to get 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 840 by 142, we get 5 with a remainder of 130.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 60848.85
Deduct 710 from 840 and we're left with 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
142 goes into 1300 9 times with a remainder of 22.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 60848.859
Subtracting 1278 from 1300 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
142 can be fit into 220 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 78.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 60848.8591
The remainder is 78 after subtracting 142 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 780 by 142, we get 5 and a remainder of 70.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 60848.85915
If we subtract 710 from 780, we get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 700 by 142, we get 4 and a remainder of 132.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 60848.859154
If we take 568 away from 700, we end up with 132.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 1320 by 142, we get 9 with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 60848.8591549
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 1278 from 1320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
The number 142 fits into 420 2 times, leaving a remainder of 136.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 60848.85915492
If we subtract 284 from 420, we get 136.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1360, and continue the process.

Our division results in 60848.85915492 with a remaining 1.36e-07.
