Let's divide 48742 by 62
Our goal is to divide 48742 by 62.

On to step 1:
The number 62 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 62

Going ahead to step 2:
48 divided by 62 is 0 with a remainder of 48.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 48 and we're left with 48.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 48 and continue with: 487 / 62

Let's proceed to step 3:
487 divided by 62 is 7 with a remainder of 53.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 434 from 487 leaves us with 53.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 53, then repeat: 534 / 62

Step 4:
If we divide 534 by 62, we get 8 and a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 78.0
Deduct 496 from 534 and we're left with 38.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 382 / 62

Going ahead to step 5:
62 goes into 382 6 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 786.0
Deduct 372 from 382 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
100 divided by 62 is 1 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 786.1
If we subtract 62 from 100, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 380 by 62, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 786.16
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 372 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 80 by 62, we get 1 and a remainder of 18.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 786.161
If we subtract 62 from 80, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
62 goes into 180 2 times with a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 786.1612
Deduct 124 from 180 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
560 divided by 62 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 786.16129
Subtract 558 from 560 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 20 by 62, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 786.16129
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
62 goes into 200 3 times with a remainder of 14.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 786.1612903
Subtracting 186 from 200 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 140 by 62, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 786.16129032
If we take 124 away from 140, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 786.16129032, and the remainder is 1.6e-08.
