We divide 271483 by 142
We're looking to find how many times 142 goes into 271483.

On to step 1:
142 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 142

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 27 by 142, we get 0 with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 27 to get 27.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 271 / 142

Advancing to step 3:
142 goes into 271 1 times with a remainder of 129.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 142 away from 271, we end up with 129.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 129 and continue: 1294 / 142

Let's proceed to step 4:
142 goes into 1294 9 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19.0
Subtract 1278 from 1294 to get 16.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 168 / 142

On to step 5:
142 can be fit into 168 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 191.0
If we subtract 142 from 168, we get 26.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 263 / 142

Step 6:
142 can be fit into 263 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 121.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1911.0
The remainder is 121 after subtracting 142 from 263.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1210, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
1210 divided by 142 is 8 with a remainder of 74.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1911.8
If we subtract 1136 from 1210, we get 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
740 divided by 142 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1911.85
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 710 from 740.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 300 by 142, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1911.852
Subtract 284 from 300 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 142 fits into 160 1 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1911.8521
If we take 142 away from 160, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
180 divided by 142 is 1 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1911.85211
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 142 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 1911.85211, with a leftover of 3.8e-05.
