Let's divide 381848 by 42
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 381848.

On to step 1:
42 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 38 / 42

Step 2:
If we divide 38 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 38 and we're left with 38.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 38, then repeat: 381 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
42 can be fit into 381 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we subtract 378 from 381, we get 3.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 38 / 42

Step 4:
The number 42 fits into 38 0 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 90.0
Subtracting 0 from 38 leaves us with 38.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 38, then repeat: 384 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
42 can be fit into 384 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 909.0
Subtracting 378 from 384 leaves us with 6.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 68 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 68 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 26.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9091.0
If we take 42 away from 68, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 260 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9091.6
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 252 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 80 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 38.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9091.61
Subtracting 42 from 80 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 380 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9091.619
If we take 378 away from 380, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 42 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9091.619
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 11:
42 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 9091.61904
Subtracting 168 from 200 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
320 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9091.619047
If we take 294 away from 320, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 260 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9091.6190476
Subtracting 252 from 260 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
80 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9091.61904761
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 42 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 9091.61904761 with a balance of 3.8e-08.
