We're dividing 5131485 by 742 
Our goal is to divide 5131485 by 742.

On to step 1:
742 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 51 / 742

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 51 by 742, we get 0 and a remainder of 51.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 51 to get 51.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 51, then repeat: 513 / 742

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 513 by 742, we get 0 and a remainder of 513.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 513 to get 513.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 513 and continue with: 5131 / 742

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 5131 by 742, we get 6 with a remainder of 679.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 4452 from 5131 and we're left with 679.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 679 and continue with: 6794 / 742

Advancing to step 5:
The number 742 fits into 6794 9 times, leaving a remainder of 116.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 69.0
Subtracting 6678 from 6794 leaves us with 116.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 116 and continue: 1168 / 742

Let's proceed to step 6:
742 can be fit into 1168 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 426.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 691.0
Subtract 742 from 1168 to get 426.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 426 and repeat the process: 4265 / 742

Advancing to step 7:
742 goes into 4265 5 times with a remainder of 555.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6915.0
Subtracting 3710 from 4265 leaves us with 555.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5550, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
742 goes into 5550 7 times with a remainder of 356.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 6915.7
Deduct 5194 from 5550 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
742 can be fit into 3560 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 592.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6915.74
Deduct 2968 from 3560 and we're left 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.

On to step 10:
742 goes into 5920 7 times with a remainder of 726.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6915.747
Deduct 5194 from 5920 and we're left with 726.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 7260 by 742, we get 9 with a remainder of 582.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6915.7479
If we take 6678 away from 7260, we end up with 582.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5820, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 5820 by 742, we get 7 with a remainder of 626.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6915.74797
Subtract 5194 from 5820 to get 626.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 6260 by 742, we get 8 and a remainder of 324.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6915.747978
If we take 5936 away from 6260, we end up with 324.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3240, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 3240 by 742, we get 4 with a remainder of 272.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6915.7479784
The remainder is 272 after subtracting 2968 from 3240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2720, and continue the process.

Step 15:
When dividing 2720 by 742, we get 3 with a remainder of 494.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6915.74797843
Subtract 2226 from 2720 to get 494.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4940, and continue the process.

Our division results in 6915.74797843 with a remaining 4.94e-07.
