We divide 42029 by 79
Our goal is to divide 42029 by 79.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 79 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 42 / 79

Moving on to step 2:
The number 79 fits into 42 0 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 42, we get 42.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 42, then repeat: 420 / 79

Advancing to step 3:
The number 79 fits into 420 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 395 from 420 leaves us with 25.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 252 / 79

On to step 4:
If we divide 252 by 79, we get 3 and a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 53.0
Subtracting 237 from 252 leaves us with 15.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 159 / 79

On to step 5:
The number 79 fits into 159 2 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 532.0
Subtract 158 from 159 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
The number 79 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 532.0
If we take 0 away from 10, 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.

On to step 7:
When dividing 100 by 79, we get 1 with a remainder of 21.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 532.01
Subtract 79 from 100 to get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 210 by 79, we get 2 with a remainder of 52.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 532.012
If we subtract 158 from 210, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
520 divided by 79 is 6 with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 532.0126
If we subtract 474 from 520, we get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Step 10:
79 can be fit into 460 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 65.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 532.01265
If we subtract 395 from 460, we get 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 79 fits into 650 8 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 532.012658
Deduct 632 from 650 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 180 by 79, we get 2 and a remainder of 22.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 532.0126582
If we subtract 158 from 180, we 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.

On to step 13:
79 goes into 220 2 times with a remainder of 62.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 532.01265822
Deduct 158 from 220 and we're left with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

The final result is 532.01265822 with a remainder of 6.2e-08.
