Let's divide 818731 by 42
Our goal is to divide 818731 by 42.

Moving on to step 1:
42 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 81 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
42 goes into 81 1 times with a remainder of 39.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 42 away from 81, we end up with 39.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 39 and continue with: 398 / 42

On to step 3:
42 goes into 398 9 times with a remainder of 20.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19.0
If we subtract 378 from 398, we get 20.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 207 / 42

On to step 4:
207 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 39.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 194.0
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 168 from 207.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 39, then repeat: 393 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 393 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 15.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1949.0
Deduct 378 from 393 and we're left with 15.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 151 / 42

On to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 151 3 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19493.0
If we take 126 away from 151, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 250 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19493.5
Deduct 210 from 250 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 8:
42 can be fit into 400 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19493.59
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 9:
The number 42 fits into 220 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19493.595
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.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 42 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19493.5952
Deduct 84 from 100 and we're left 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.

Step 11:
If we divide 160 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 34.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19493.59523
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
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: 19493.595238
If we take 336 away from 340, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
40 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19493.595238
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 400 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 19493.59523809
If we take 378 away from 400, we end up 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.

After the division, we end up with 19493.59523809 and a remainder of 2.2e-08.
