12288157 divided by 542 
We want to figure out the number of times 12288157 can be divided by 542.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 542 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 12 / 542

Let's proceed to step 2:
542 goes into 12 0 times with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 12, we end up with 12.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 122 / 542

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 542 fits into 122 0 times, leaving a remainder of 122.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 122 leaves us with 122.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 122 and repeat the process: 1228 / 542

On to step 4:
1228 divided by 542 is 2 with a remainder of 144.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 1084 from 1228 to get 144.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 144 and continue: 1448 / 542

Advancing to step 5:
542 goes into 1448 2 times with a remainder of 364.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22.0
The remainder is 364 after subtracting 1084 from 1448.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 364, then repeat: 3641 / 542

Step 6:
3641 divided by 542 is 6 with a remainder of 389.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 226.0
The remainder is 389 after subtracting 3252 from 3641.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 389 and continue: 3895 / 542

Advancing to step 7:
542 can be fit into 3895 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 101.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2267.0
Subtract 3794 from 3895 to get 101.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 101, then repeat: 1017 / 542

Step 8:
1017 divided by 542 is 1 with a remainder of 475.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 22671.0
If we subtract 542 from 1017, we get 475.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4750, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
542 goes into 4750 8 times with a remainder of 414.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22671.8
The remainder is 414 after subtracting 4336 from 4750.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
4140 divided by 542 is 7 with a remainder of 346.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22671.87
If we subtract 3794 from 4140, we get 346.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3460, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 542 fits into 3460 6 times, leaving a remainder of 208.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22671.876
The remainder is 208 after subtracting 3252 from 3460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2080, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 542 fits into 2080 3 times, leaving a remainder of 454.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22671.8763
If we subtract 1626 from 2080, we get 454.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4540, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
542 can be fit into 4540 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 204.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22671.87638
Subtracting 4336 from 4540 leaves us with 204.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2040, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 2040 by 542, we get 3 with a remainder of 414.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22671.876383
If we take 1626 away from 2040, we end up with 414.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4140, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
542 goes into 4140 7 times with a remainder of 346.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22671.8763837
Subtracting 3794 from 4140 leaves us with 346.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3460, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
3460 divided by 542 is 6 with a remainder of 208.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22671.87638376
The remainder is 208 after subtracting 3252 from 3460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2080, and continue the process.

Our division results in 22671.87638376 with a remaining 2.08e-07.
