We're dividing 542357 by 76 
We want to divide 542357 by 76.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 76 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 54 / 76

On to step 2:
If we divide 54 by 76, we get 0 and a remainder of 54.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 0 from 54.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 54, then repeat: 542 / 76

Step 3:
76 can be fit into 542 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 532 from 542 leaves us with 10.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 103 / 76

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 103 by 76, we get 1 with a remainder of 27.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 71.0
If we subtract 76 from 103, we get 27.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 275 / 76

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 76 fits into 275 3 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 713.0
If we subtract 228 from 275, we get 47.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 47 and repeat the process: 477 / 76

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 477 by 76, we get 6 with a remainder of 21.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7136.0
If we take 456 away from 477, we end up with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
76 can be fit into 210 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7136.2
If we subtract 152 from 210, we get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 580 by 76, we get 7 with a remainder of 48.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7136.27
If we take 532 away from 580, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 9:
480 divided by 76 is 6 with a remainder of 24.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7136.276
Subtracting 456 from 480 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
76 goes into 240 3 times with a remainder of 12.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7136.2763
If we subtract 228 from 240, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
76 can be fit into 120 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7136.27631
If we subtract 76 from 120, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
440 divided by 76 is 5 with a remainder of 60.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7136.276315
If we take 380 away from 440, we end up with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 600 by 76, we get 7 with a remainder of 68.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7136.2763157
Subtracting 532 from 600 leaves us with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 76 fits into 680 8 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7136.27631578
If we subtract 608 from 680, we get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Our division results in 7136.27631578 with a remaining 7.2e-08.
