Let's divide 7142 by 36
We want to figure out the number of times 7142 can be divided by 36.

On to step 1:
36 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 71 / 36

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 71 by 36, we get 1 with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 36 from 71 and we're left with 35.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 35, then carry on: 354 / 36

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 354 by 36, we get 9 and a remainder of 30.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19.0
Subtracting 324 from 354 leaves us with 30.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 302 / 36

On to step 4:
36 goes into 302 8 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 198.0
Subtract 288 from 302 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 5:
36 can be fit into 140 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 198.3
If we take 108 away from 140, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
36 goes into 320 8 times with a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 198.38
Subtract 288 from 320 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
320 divided by 36 is 8 with a remainder of 32.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 198.388
If we take 288 away from 320, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 198.388, and the remainder is 0.0032.
