42875274 divided by 144 
Let's see how many times 144 fits into 42875274.

Going ahead to step 1:
4 divided by 144 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 42 / 144

Going ahead to step 2:
42 divided by 144 is 0 with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 0 from 42.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 42, then repeat: 428 / 144

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 428 by 144, we get 2 and a remainder of 140.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 140 after subtracting 288 from 428.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 140 and repeat the process: 1407 / 144

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 144 fits into 1407 9 times, leaving a remainder of 111.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 29.0
Subtracting 1296 from 1407 leaves us with 111.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 111, then repeat: 1115 / 144

Let's proceed to step 5:
144 can be fit into 1115 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 107.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 297.0
Deduct 1008 from 1115 and we're left with 107.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 107 and continue: 1072 / 144

Step 6:
When dividing 1072 by 144, we get 7 with a remainder of 64.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2977.0
Deduct 1008 from 1072 and we're left with 64.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 64 and continue: 647 / 144

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 144 fits into 647 4 times, leaving a remainder of 71.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 29774.0
If we take 576 away from 647, we end up with 71.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 71 and continue with: 714 / 144

Step 8:
When dividing 714 by 144, we get 4 with a remainder of 138.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 297744.0
If we take 576 away from 714, we end up with 138.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1380, and continue the process.

Step 9:
144 goes into 1380 9 times with a remainder of 84.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 297744.9
If we subtract 1296 from 1380, we get 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
840 divided by 144 is 5 with a remainder of 120.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 297744.95
Subtracting 720 from 840 leaves us with 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1200, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 144 fits into 1200 8 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 297744.958
Subtract 1152 from 1200 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 480 by 144, we get 3 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 297744.9583
If we take 432 away from 480, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
480 divided by 144 is 3 with a remainder of 48.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 297744.95833
Deduct 432 from 480 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

The final result is 297744.95833 with a remainder of 4.8e-05.
