38723104 divided by 542 
We want to figure out the number of times 38723104 can be divided by 542.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 3 by 542, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 38 / 542

Step 2:
38 divided by 542 is 0 with a remainder of 38.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 38 and we're left with 38.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 38, then repeat: 387 / 542

Step 3:
542 can be fit into 387 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 387.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 387 after subtracting 0 from 387.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 387, then carry on: 3872 / 542

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 3872 by 542, we get 7 and a remainder of 78.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 3794 from 3872 to get 78.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 78, then repeat: 783 / 542

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 783 by 542, we get 1 with a remainder of 241.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 71.0
If we take 542 away from 783, we end up with 241.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 241 and repeat the process: 2411 / 542

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 2411 by 542, we get 4 and a remainder of 243.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 714.0
Subtracting 2168 from 2411 leaves us with 243.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 243, then repeat: 2430 / 542

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 2430 by 542, we get 4 and a remainder of 262.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7144.0
The remainder is 262 after subtracting 2168 from 2430.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 262 and continue with: 2624 / 542

Step 8:
When dividing 2624 by 542, we get 4 with a remainder of 456.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 71444.0
Subtract 2168 from 2624 to get 456.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4560, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 542 fits into 4560 8 times, leaving a remainder of 224.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 71444.8
Subtract 4336 from 4560 to get 224.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2240, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
2240 divided by 542 is 4 with a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 71444.84
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 2168 from 2240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 542 fits into 720 1 times, leaving a remainder of 178.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 71444.841
Deduct 542 from 720 and we're left with 178.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1780, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 1780 by 542, we get 3 with a remainder of 154.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 71444.8413
Deduct 1626 from 1780 and we're left with 154.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1540, and continue the process.

Step 13:
542 goes into 1540 2 times with a remainder of 456.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 71444.84132
Deduct 1084 from 1540 and we're left with 456.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
542 can be fit into 4560 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 224.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 71444.841328
Subtracting 4336 from 4560 leaves us with 224.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
542 can be fit into 2240 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 71444.8413284
Deduct 2168 from 2240 and we're left with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
542 can be fit into 720 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 178.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 71444.84132841
If we subtract 542 from 720, we get 178.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1780, and continue the process.

Our division results in 71444.84132841 with a remaining 1.78e-07.
