Let's divide 8718142 by 375
We want to figure out the number of times 8718142 can be divided by 375.

Moving on to step 1:
375 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 87 / 375

Moving on to step 2:
375 can be fit into 87 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 87.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 87 to get 87.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 87 and continue with: 871 / 375

Moving on to step 3:
375 can be fit into 871 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 121.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 750 away from 871, we end up with 121.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 121, then repeat: 1218 / 375

On to step 4:
If we divide 1218 by 375, we get 3 and a remainder of 93.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23.0
The remainder is 93 after subtracting 1125 from 1218.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 93 and continue: 931 / 375

Step 5:
931 divided by 375 is 2 with a remainder of 181.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 232.0
Subtracting 750 from 931 leaves us with 181.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 181 and continue with: 1814 / 375

Advancing to step 6:
The number 375 fits into 1814 4 times, leaving a remainder of 314.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2324.0
Subtract 1500 from 1814 to get 314.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 314 and repeat the process: 3142 / 375

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 3142 by 375, we get 8 and a remainder of 142.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23248.0
The remainder is 142 after subtracting 3000 from 3142.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
1420 divided by 375 is 3 with a remainder of 295.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23248.3
If we take 1125 away from 1420, we end up with 295.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2950, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
2950 divided by 375 is 7 with a remainder of 325.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23248.37
If we take 2625 away from 2950, we end up with 325.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
3250 divided by 375 is 8 with a remainder of 250.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23248.378
Subtracting 3000 from 3250 leaves us with 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 2500 by 375, we get 6 with a remainder of 250.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23248.3786
Subtracting 2250 from 2500 leaves us with 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
375 can be fit into 2500 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 250.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23248.37866
If we take 2250 away from 2500, we end up with 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2500, and continue the process.

The final result is 23248.37866 with a remainder of 0.00025.
