542996 ÷ 150 
We want to figure out the number of times 542996 can be divided by 150.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 150, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 54 / 150

Step 2:
150 goes into 54 0 times with a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 54, we end up with 54.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 54, then repeat: 542 / 150

Step 3:
If we divide 542 by 150, we get 3 and a remainder of 92.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 450 away from 542, we end up with 92.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 92 and continue: 929 / 150

On to step 4:
150 can be fit into 929 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 36.0
Subtract 900 from 929 to get 29.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 299 / 150

Moving on to step 5:
The number 150 fits into 299 1 times, leaving a remainder of 149.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 361.0
If we take 150 away from 299, we end up with 149.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 149 and continue: 1496 / 150

On to step 6:
150 goes into 1496 9 times with a remainder of 146.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3619.0
If we take 1350 away from 1496, we end up with 146.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1460, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
1460 divided by 150 is 9 with a remainder of 110.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3619.9
Subtracting 1350 from 1460 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 1100 by 150, we get 7 with a remainder of 50.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3619.97
Subtracting 1050 from 1100 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 150 fits into 500 3 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3619.973
Deduct 450 from 500 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
150 can be fit into 500 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3619.9733
Subtract 450 from 500 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3619.9733 with a remaining 0.0005.
