Let's divide 196369 by 42
Our goal is to divide 196369 by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 19 / 42

On to step 2:
19 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 19, we get 19.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 196 / 42

Step 3:
The number 42 fits into 196 4 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 168 from 196 to get 28.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 283 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 283 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 31.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 46.0
Deduct 252 from 283 and we're left with 31.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 316 / 42

On to step 5:
42 can be fit into 316 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 467.0
Subtracting 294 from 316 leaves us with 22.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 229 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
42 can be fit into 229 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 4675.0
Deduct 210 from 229 and we're left with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 190 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 22.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4675.4
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 168 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 220 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4675.45
If we take 210 away from 220, 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 42 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4675.452
Subtract 84 from 100 to get 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:
42 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 34.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4675.4523
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.

Advancing to step 11:
42 can be fit into 340 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4675.45238
Subtracting 336 from 340 leaves us 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 12:
42 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4675.45238
If we subtract 0 from 40, we 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.

Step 13:
400 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 22.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4675.4523809
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
220 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4675.45238095
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 4675.45238095 with a balance of 1e-08.
