3718254 divided by 142 
We want to divide 3718254 by 142.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 142, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 37 / 142

On to step 2:
If we divide 37 by 142, we get 0 and a remainder of 37.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 37 and we're left with 37.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 37, then repeat: 371 / 142

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 371 by 142, we get 2 and a remainder of 87.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 284 from 371 to get 87.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 87, then repeat: 878 / 142

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 878 by 142, we get 6 with a remainder of 26.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 26.0
Subtract 852 from 878 to get 26.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 262 / 142

Let's proceed to step 5:
142 goes into 262 1 times with a remainder of 120.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 261.0
If we take 142 away from 262, we end up with 120.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 120 and continue: 1205 / 142

Moving on to step 6:
1205 divided by 142 is 8 with a remainder of 69.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2618.0
The remainder is 69 after subtracting 1136 from 1205.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 69, then repeat: 694 / 142

On to step 7:
694 divided by 142 is 4 with a remainder of 126.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 26184.0
Subtracting 568 from 694 leaves us with 126.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 1260 by 142, we get 8 and a remainder of 124.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 26184.8
Deduct 1136 from 1260 and we're left with 124.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1240, and continue the process.

Step 9:
142 goes into 1240 8 times with a remainder of 104.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 26184.88
If we take 1136 away from 1240, we end up with 104.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1040, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 26184.88 with a balance of 0.104.
