Let's divide 74542 by 30
We want to divide 74542 by 30.

Let's proceed to step 1:
30 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 74 / 30

On to step 2:
If we divide 74 by 30, we get 2 and a remainder of 14.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 60 from 74 leaves us with 14.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 145 / 30

Step 3:
30 can be fit into 145 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24.0
Subtract 120 from 145 to get 25.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 254 / 30

Step 4:
254 divided by 30 is 8 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 248.0
If we take 240 away from 254, we end up with 14.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 142 / 30

Step 5:
142 divided by 30 is 4 with a remainder of 22.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2484.0
Subtracting 120 from 142 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
220 divided by 30 is 7 with a remainder of 10.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2484.7
Deduct 210 from 220 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
30 goes into 100 3 times with a remainder of 10.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2484.73
If we take 90 away from 100, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 100 by 30, we get 3 with a remainder of 10.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2484.733
Subtract 90 from 100 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 2484.733, and the remainder is 0.001.
