74001264 ÷ 842 
Let's see how many times 842 fits into 74001264.

Advancing to step 1:
842 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 74 / 842

On to step 2:
842 can be fit into 74 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 74.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 74 after subtracting 0 from 74.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 74, then repeat: 740 / 842

On to step 3:
The number 842 fits into 740 0 times, leaving a remainder of 740.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 740 leaves us with 740.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 740, then repeat: 7400 / 842

Step 4:
7400 divided by 842 is 8 with a remainder of 664.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we take 6736 away from 7400, we end up with 664.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 664, then repeat: 6641 / 842

On to step 5:
If we divide 6641 by 842, we get 7 and a remainder of 747.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 87.0
Subtracting 5894 from 6641 leaves us with 747.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 747 and repeat the process: 7472 / 842

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 7472 by 842, we get 8 and a remainder of 736.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 878.0
Subtract 6736 from 7472 to get 736.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 736 and continue with: 7366 / 842

Step 7:
842 can be fit into 7366 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 630.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8788.0
Deduct 6736 from 7366 and we're left with 630.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 630, then repeat: 6304 / 842

On to step 8:
The number 842 fits into 6304 7 times, leaving a remainder of 410.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 87887.0
If we take 5894 away from 6304, we end up with 410.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4100, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 4100 by 842, we get 4 with a remainder of 732.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 87887.4
Subtract 3368 from 4100 to get 732.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 7320 by 842, we get 8 with a remainder of 584.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 87887.48
The remainder is 584 after subtracting 6736 from 7320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5840, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 5840 by 842, we get 6 and a remainder of 788.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 87887.486
The remainder is 788 after subtracting 5052 from 5840.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7880, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 7880 by 842, we get 9 and a remainder of 302.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 87887.4869
The remainder is 302 after subtracting 7578 from 7880.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3020, and continue the process.

Step 13:
3020 divided by 842 is 3 with a remainder of 494.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 87887.48693
If we subtract 2526 from 3020, we 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.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 842 fits into 4940 5 times, leaving a remainder of 730.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 87887.486935
The remainder is 730 after subtracting 4210 from 4940.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7300, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
The number 842 fits into 7300 8 times, leaving a remainder of 564.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 87887.4869358
Subtract 6736 from 7300 to get 564.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
If we divide 5640 by 842, we get 6 and a remainder of 588.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 87887.48693586
Subtract 5052 from 5640 to get 588.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5880, and continue the process.

Our division results in 87887.48693586 with a remaining 5.88e-07.
