We're dividing 338056 by 42 
We want to divide 338056 by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 33 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 33 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 33.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 33, we end up with 33.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 33 and repeat the process: 338 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
42 can be fit into 338 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 336 from 338.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 20 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
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: 80.0
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 205 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 205 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 37.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 804.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 168 from 205.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 37 and repeat the process: 376 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 376 8 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8048.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 336 from 376.
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 7:
400 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8048.9
Subtracting 378 from 400 leaves us 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 8:
If we divide 220 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8048.95
Subtracting 210 from 220 leaves us 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 9:
42 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8048.952
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.

Step 10:
42 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 8048.9523
Subtracting 126 from 160 leaves us 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:
42 goes into 340 8 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8048.95238
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 12:
If we divide 40 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8048.95238
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 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 13:
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: 8048.9523809
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.

On to step 14:
If we divide 220 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8048.95238095
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.

After the division, we end up with 8048.95238095 and a remainder of 1e-08.
