We divide 148468 by 42
Our goal is to divide 148468 by 42.

Advancing to step 1:
42 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 42

On to step 2:
42 goes into 14 0 times with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 0 from 14.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 148 / 42

Step 3:
148 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 126 from 148 to get 22.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 224 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
42 can be fit into 224 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 35.0
Subtract 210 from 224 to get 14.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 146 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 146 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 353.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 126 from 146.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 208 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
42 can be fit into 208 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3534.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 168 from 208.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 400 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3534.9
Deduct 378 from 400 and we're left 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 8:
When dividing 220 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3534.95
If we subtract 210 from 220, we 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.

Advancing to step 9:
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: 3534.952
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 10:
160 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 34.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3534.9523
Deduct 126 from 160 and we're left with 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 11:
If we divide 340 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3534.95238
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 40 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3534.95238
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 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 13:
If we divide 400 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 22.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3534.9523809
Subtract 378 from 400 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 42 fits into 220 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3534.95238095
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 210 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3534.95238095 with a remaining 1e-08.
