We're dividing 742423 by 61 
We want to divide 742423 by 61.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 61 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 74 / 61

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 61 fits into 74 1 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 61 from 74 leaves us with 13.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 132 / 61

Let's proceed to step 3:
61 can be fit into 132 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
Deduct 122 from 132 and we're left with 10.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 104 / 61

On to step 4:
104 divided by 61 is 1 with a remainder of 43.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 121.0
If we subtract 61 from 104, we get 43.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 43 and continue with: 432 / 61

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 432 by 61, we get 7 with a remainder of 5.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1217.0
Subtracting 427 from 432 leaves us with 5.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 53 / 61

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 61 fits into 53 0 times, leaving a remainder of 53.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12170.0
The remainder is 53 after subtracting 0 from 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
530 divided by 61 is 8 with a remainder of 42.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12170.8
Deduct 488 from 530 and we're left with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 61 fits into 420 6 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12170.86
Deduct 366 from 420 and we're left with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 540 by 61, we get 8 and a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 12170.868
Subtract 488 from 540 to get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 61 fits into 520 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12170.8688
Subtract 488 from 520 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Our division results in 12170.8688 with a remaining 0.00032.
