Let's divide 3714233 by 642
We want to figure out the number of times 3714233 can be divided by 642.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 642, we get 0 and 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 (7) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 37 / 642

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 642 fits into 37 0 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 0 from 37.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 371 / 642

Moving on to step 3:
The number 642 fits into 371 0 times, leaving a remainder of 371.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 371 after subtracting 0 from 371.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 371, then repeat: 3714 / 642

On to step 4:
642 goes into 3714 5 times with a remainder of 504.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 504 after subtracting 3210 from 3714.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 504 and continue with: 5042 / 642

On to step 5:
The number 642 fits into 5042 7 times, leaving a remainder of 548.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 57.0
If we subtract 4494 from 5042, we get 548.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 548, then carry on: 5483 / 642

Going ahead to step 6:
642 can be fit into 5483 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 347.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 578.0
If we take 5136 away from 5483, we end up with 347.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 347, then repeat: 3473 / 642

Moving on to step 7:
642 can be fit into 3473 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 263.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5785.0
Subtracting 3210 from 3473 leaves us with 263.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2630, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
642 goes into 2630 4 times with a remainder of 62.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5785.4
Deduct 2568 from 2630 and we're left with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
642 goes into 620 0 times with a remainder of 620.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5785.4
Subtracting 0 from 620 leaves us with 620.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
642 goes into 6200 9 times with a remainder of 422.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5785.409
If we subtract 5778 from 6200, we get 422.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4220, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 4220 by 642, we get 6 and a remainder of 368.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5785.4096
The remainder is 368 after subtracting 3852 from 4220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3680, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
642 can be fit into 3680 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 470.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5785.40965
If we take 3210 away from 3680, we end up with 470.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4700, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
4700 divided by 642 is 7 with a remainder of 206.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5785.409657
If we take 4494 away from 4700, we end up with 206.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2060, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
2060 divided by 642 is 3 with a remainder of 134.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5785.4096573
Deduct 1926 from 2060 and we're left with 134.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
642 can be fit into 1340 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5785.40965732
Subtract 1284 from 1340 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Our division results in 5785.40965732 with a remaining 5.6e-08.
