We're dividing 18176978 by 742 
Our goal is to divide 18176978 by 742.

Step 1:
The number 742 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 18 / 742

Step 2:
If we divide 18 by 742, we get 0 and a remainder of 18.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 18 and we're left with 18.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 181 / 742

Let's proceed to step 3:
742 goes into 181 0 times with a remainder of 181.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 181 after subtracting 0 from 181.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 181 and continue with: 1817 / 742

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 1817 by 742, we get 2 and a remainder of 333.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 1484 from 1817, we get 333.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 333 and repeat the process: 3336 / 742

Step 5:
The number 742 fits into 3336 4 times, leaving a remainder of 368.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24.0
Subtract 2968 from 3336 to get 368.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 368 and continue: 3689 / 742

Going ahead to step 6:
3689 divided by 742 is 4 with a remainder of 721.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 244.0
Deduct 2968 from 3689 and we're left with 721.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 721 and continue with: 7217 / 742

Step 7:
742 goes into 7217 9 times with a remainder of 539.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2449.0
Subtracting 6678 from 7217 leaves us with 539.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 539, then carry on: 5398 / 742

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 5398 by 742, we get 7 with a remainder of 204.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24497.0
If we subtract 5194 from 5398, we get 204.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2040, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 742 fits into 2040 2 times, leaving a remainder of 556.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24497.2
Subtracting 1484 from 2040 leaves us with 556.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
742 goes into 5560 7 times with a remainder of 366.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24497.27
If we subtract 5194 from 5560, we get 366.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3660, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
3660 divided by 742 is 4 with a remainder of 692.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24497.274
Deduct 2968 from 3660 and we're left with 692.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6920, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 6920 by 742, we get 9 and a remainder of 242.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24497.2749
The remainder is 242 after subtracting 6678 from 6920.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2420, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
742 goes into 2420 3 times with a remainder of 194.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24497.27493
If we subtract 2226 from 2420, we get 194.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1940, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
1940 divided by 742 is 2 with a remainder of 456.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24497.274932
Subtract 1484 from 1940 to get 456.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4560, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
742 can be fit into 4560 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 108.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24497.2749326
The remainder is 108 after subtracting 4452 from 4560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1080, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
If we divide 1080 by 742, we get 1 and a remainder of 338.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24497.27493261
Subtract 742 from 1080 to get 338.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3380, and continue the process.

The final result is 24497.27493261 with a remainder of 3.38e-07.
