We're dividing 30542 by 76 
We want to divide 30542 by 76.

Let's proceed to step 1:
76 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in 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.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 30 / 76

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 30 by 76, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 30.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 305 / 76

Step 3:
76 can be fit into 305 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 304 from 305, we get 1.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 76

Step 4:
If we divide 14 by 76, we get 0 and a remainder of 14.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 40.0
If we take 0 away from 14, we end up with 14.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 142 / 76

Advancing to step 5:
142 divided by 76 is 1 with a remainder of 66.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 401.0
If we take 76 away from 142, we end up with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
If we divide 660 by 76, we get 8 and a remainder of 52.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 401.8
Subtracting 608 from 660 leaves us with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
76 can be fit into 520 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 401.86
Subtract 456 from 520 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 76 fits into 640 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 401.868
Deduct 608 from 640 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
320 divided by 76 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 401.8684
If we take 304 away from 320, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 160 by 76, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 401.86842
Subtract 152 from 160 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 76 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 401.868421
If we take 76 away from 80, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 76 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 401.868421
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 13:
400 divided by 76 is 5 with a remainder of 20.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 401.86842105
Subtracting 380 from 400 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

The final result is 401.86842105 with a remainder of 2e-08.
