We divide 72940292 by 542
We want to divide 72940292 by 542.

On to step 1:
542 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 72 / 542

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 72 by 542, we get 0 with a remainder of 72.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 72 to get 72.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 72 and continue with: 729 / 542

Advancing to step 3:
542 can be fit into 729 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 187.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 542 from 729 to get 187.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 187 and continue with: 1874 / 542

Going ahead to step 4:
542 goes into 1874 3 times with a remainder of 248.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we subtract 1626 from 1874, we get 248.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 248, then repeat: 2480 / 542

Step 5:
542 can be fit into 2480 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 312.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 134.0
The remainder is 312 after subtracting 2168 from 2480.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 312, then repeat: 3122 / 542

Step 6:
542 can be fit into 3122 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 412.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1345.0
The remainder is 412 after subtracting 2710 from 3122.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 412 and repeat the process: 4129 / 542

Going ahead to step 7:
542 can be fit into 4129 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 335.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13457.0
Subtract 3794 from 4129 to get 335.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 335, then repeat: 3352 / 542

Step 8:
3352 divided by 542 is 6 with a remainder of 100.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 134576.0
If we take 3252 away from 3352, we end up with 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1000, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
542 goes into 1000 1 times with a remainder of 458.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 134576.1
If we take 542 away from 1000, we end up with 458.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4580, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 4580 by 542, we get 8 with a remainder of 244.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 134576.18
The remainder is 244 after subtracting 4336 from 4580.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2440, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
542 goes into 2440 4 times with a remainder of 272.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 134576.184
If we subtract 2168 from 2440, we get 272.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2720, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 2720 by 542, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 134576.1845
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 2710 from 2720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 100 by 542, we get 0 with a remainder of 100.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 134576.1845
Subtracting 0 from 100 leaves us with 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1000, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
542 goes into 1000 1 times with a remainder of 458.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 134576.184501
Deduct 542 from 1000 and we're left with 458.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
542 can be fit into 4580 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 244.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 134576.1845018
Deduct 4336 from 4580 and we're left with 244.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2440, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
When dividing 2440 by 542, we get 4 with a remainder of 272.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 134576.18450184
Deduct 2168 from 2440 and we're left with 272.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2720, and continue the process.

Our division results in 134576.18450184 with a remaining 2.72e-07.
