Let's divide 1542432 by 731
Our goal is to divide 1542432 by 731.

Step 1:
When dividing 1 by 731, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 15 / 731

On to step 2:
731 goes into 15 0 times with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 15 leaves us with 15.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 154 / 731

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 731 fits into 154 0 times, leaving a remainder of 154.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 154 after subtracting 0 from 154.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 154 and repeat the process: 1542 / 731

Moving on to step 4:
731 goes into 1542 2 times with a remainder of 80.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 1462 away from 1542, we end up with 80.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 80 and continue with: 804 / 731

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 804 by 731, we get 1 and a remainder of 73.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtract 731 from 804 to get 73.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 73, then repeat: 733 / 731

Moving on to step 6:
733 divided by 731 is 1 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 211.0
Deduct 731 from 733 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 22 / 731

Step 7:
When dividing 22 by 731, we get 0 with a remainder of 22.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2110.0
If we subtract 0 from 22, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 8:
731 goes into 220 0 times with a remainder of 220.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2110.0
Deduct 0 from 220 and we're left with 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2200, and continue the process.

Step 9:
731 goes into 2200 3 times with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2110.03
If we subtract 2193 from 2200, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
731 goes into 70 0 times with a remainder of 70.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2110.03
Subtracting 0 from 70 leaves us with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 700 by 731, we get 0 with a remainder of 700.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2110.03
The remainder is 700 after subtracting 0 from 700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7000, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 2110.03 and a remainder of 0.007.
