31259137 ÷ 742 
Our goal is to divide 31259137 by 742.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 742 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 31 / 742

Advancing to step 2:
31 divided by 742 is 0 with a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 31, we end up with 31.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 312 / 742

Let's proceed to step 3:
742 goes into 312 0 times with a remainder of 312.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 312 and we're left with 312.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 312, then carry on: 3125 / 742

Moving on to step 4:
The number 742 fits into 3125 4 times, leaving a remainder of 157.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 2968 away from 3125, we end up with 157.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 157 and repeat the process: 1579 / 742

Moving on to step 5:
1579 divided by 742 is 2 with a remainder of 95.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42.0
If we subtract 1484 from 1579, we get 95.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 95 and repeat the process: 951 / 742

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 951 by 742, we get 1 with a remainder of 209.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 421.0
Deduct 742 from 951 and we're left with 209.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 209 and continue with: 2093 / 742

Advancing to step 7:
742 can be fit into 2093 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 609.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4212.0
Deduct 1484 from 2093 and we're left with 609.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 609, then repeat: 6097 / 742

Going ahead to step 8:
6097 divided by 742 is 8 with a remainder of 161.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 42128.0
Subtract 5936 from 6097 to get 161.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1610, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 1610 by 742, we get 2 with a remainder of 126.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42128.2
Subtracting 1484 from 1610 leaves us with 126.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
742 goes into 1260 1 times with a remainder of 518.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 42128.21
If we subtract 742 from 1260, we get 518.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 5180 by 742, we get 6 with a remainder of 728.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42128.216
Subtracting 4452 from 5180 leaves us with 728.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
7280 divided by 742 is 9 with a remainder of 602.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42128.2169
If we take 6678 away from 7280, we end up with 602.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6020, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 6020 by 742, we get 8 with a remainder of 84.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42128.21698
If we take 5936 away from 6020, we end up with 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
840 divided by 742 is 1 with a remainder of 98.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42128.216981
Subtract 742 from 840 to get 98.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 980, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
When dividing 980 by 742, we get 1 with a remainder of 238.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42128.2169811
Subtract 742 from 980 to get 238.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2380, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 42128.2169811, and the remainder is 2.38e-06.
