We divide 20542860 by 742
We're looking to find how many times 742 goes into 20542860.

Let's proceed to step 1:
742 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 20 / 742

Step 2:
742 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 205 / 742

Let's proceed to step 3:
205 divided by 742 is 0 with a remainder of 205.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 205 after subtracting 0 from 205.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 205, then carry on: 2054 / 742

Moving on to step 4:
The number 742 fits into 2054 2 times, leaving a remainder of 570.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 1484 away from 2054, we end up with 570.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 570 and continue: 5702 / 742

Moving on to step 5:
742 goes into 5702 7 times with a remainder of 508.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27.0
Deduct 5194 from 5702 and we're left with 508.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 508, then repeat: 5088 / 742

Let's proceed to step 6:
742 goes into 5088 6 times with a remainder of 636.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 276.0
Deduct 4452 from 5088 and we're left with 636.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 636, then repeat: 6366 / 742

Let's proceed to step 7:
6366 divided by 742 is 8 with a remainder of 430.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2768.0
If we subtract 5936 from 6366, we get 430.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 430, then repeat: 4300 / 742

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 742 fits into 4300 5 times, leaving a remainder of 590.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 27685.0
If we subtract 3710 from 4300, we get 590.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5900, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 742 fits into 5900 7 times, leaving a remainder of 706.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27685.7
If we take 5194 away from 5900, we end up with 706.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7060, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
742 goes into 7060 9 times with a remainder of 382.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 27685.79
Deduct 6678 from 7060 and we're left with 382.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3820, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 742 fits into 3820 5 times, leaving a remainder of 110.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 27685.795
If we take 3710 away from 3820, we end up with 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1100, and continue the process.

Step 12:
742 can be fit into 1100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 358.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 27685.7951
If we subtract 742 from 1100, we get 358.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 742 fits into 3580 4 times, leaving a remainder of 612.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 27685.79514
Deduct 2968 from 3580 and we're left with 612.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6120, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 742 fits into 6120 8 times, leaving a remainder of 184.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 27685.795148
If we subtract 5936 from 6120, we get 184.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1840, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
742 can be fit into 1840 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 356.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27685.7951482
Deduct 1484 from 1840 and we're left with 356.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3560, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
3560 divided by 742 is 4 with a remainder of 592.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27685.79514824
Subtracting 2968 from 3560 leaves us with 592.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5920, and continue the process.

Our division results in 27685.79514824 with a remaining 5.92e-07.
