We divide 144259 by 42
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 144259.

Going ahead to step 1:
42 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
42 can be fit into 14 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 14 and we're left with 14.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 144 / 42

On to step 3:
144 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 126 away from 144, we end up with 18.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 182 / 42

On to step 4:
42 can be fit into 182 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 34.0
Subtracting 168 from 182 leaves us with 14.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 145 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 145 3 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 343.0
Subtract 126 from 145 to get 19.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 199 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 199 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 31.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3434.0
If we subtract 168 from 199, we get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
42 goes into 310 7 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3434.7
Subtracting 294 from 310 leaves us with 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 8:
42 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 34.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3434.73
Subtract 126 from 160 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
42 goes into 340 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3434.738
If we subtract 336 from 340, 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
40 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3434.738
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.

Moving on to step 11:
400 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 22.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3434.73809
Subtracting 378 from 400 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
42 goes into 220 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3434.738095
Subtract 210 from 220 to get 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 13:
If we divide 100 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3434.7380952
Subtracting 84 from 100 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 42 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3434.73809523
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 126 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3434.73809523, and the remainder is 3.4e-08.
