We divide 742838 by 62
Our goal is to divide 742838 by 62.

Going ahead to step 1:
62 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 74 / 62

On to step 2:
74 divided by 62 is 1 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 62 away from 74, we end up with 12.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 122 / 62

Step 3:
When dividing 122 by 62, we get 1 with a remainder of 60.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 62 from 122.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 60 and repeat the process: 608 / 62

Step 4:
When dividing 608 by 62, we get 9 with a remainder of 50.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 119.0
If we subtract 558 from 608, we get 50.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 50, then repeat: 503 / 62

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 62 fits into 503 8 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1198.0
Subtracting 496 from 503 leaves us with 7.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 78 / 62

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 78 by 62, we get 1 and a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11981.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 62 from 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 62 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11981.2
If we subtract 124 from 160, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
360 divided by 62 is 5 with a remainder of 50.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11981.25
If we take 310 away from 360, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 62 fits into 500 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 11981.258
If we subtract 496 from 500, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
62 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 11981.258
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
62 goes into 400 6 times with a remainder of 28.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11981.25806
Subtracting 372 from 400 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
280 divided by 62 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 11981.258064
Subtract 248 from 280 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 320 by 62, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11981.2580645
If we take 310 away from 320, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 100 by 62, we get 1 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11981.25806451
If we subtract 62 from 100, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 11981.25806451 with a balance of 3.8e-08.
