Let's divide 542068 by 73
We want to divide 542068 by 73.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 54 / 73

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 73 fits into 54 0 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 54 and we're left with 54.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 54, then repeat: 542 / 73

Advancing to step 3:
The number 73 fits into 542 7 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 511 from 542.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 310 / 73

Step 4:
If we divide 310 by 73, we get 4 and a remainder of 18.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 74.0
Subtract 292 from 310 to get 18.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 186 / 73

Advancing to step 5:
73 can be fit into 186 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 742.0
If we take 146 away from 186, we end up with 40.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 408 / 73

Moving on to step 6:
The number 73 fits into 408 5 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7425.0
Deduct 365 from 408 and we're left with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 430 by 73, we get 5 with a remainder of 65.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 7425.5
If we subtract 365 from 430, we get 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 650 by 73, we get 8 and a remainder of 66.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7425.58
If we take 584 away from 650, we end up with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
73 goes into 660 9 times with a remainder of 3.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7425.589
If we subtract 657 from 660, we get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 30 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7425.589
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 300 by 73, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7425.58904
If we take 292 away from 300, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
80 divided by 73 is 1 with a remainder of 7.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7425.589041
If we subtract 73 from 80, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
70 divided by 73 is 0 with a remainder of 70.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7425.589041
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 0 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 73 fits into 700 9 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7425.58904109
If we take 657 away from 700, we end up with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 7425.58904109 and a remainder of 4.3e-08.
