We're dividing 190587 by 42 
Our goal is to divide 190587 by 42.

Going ahead to step 1:
1 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 19 / 42

On to step 2:
When dividing 19 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 19 leaves us with 19.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 19, then repeat: 190 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 190 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 168 from 190.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 225 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
225 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 45.0
Deduct 210 from 225 and we're left with 15.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 158 / 42

On to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 158 3 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 453.0
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 126 from 158.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 32 and continue: 327 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
42 can be fit into 327 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4537.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 294 from 327.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 330 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4537.7
Subtract 294 from 330 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 360 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4537.78
Subtract 336 from 360 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 240 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4537.785
If we take 210 away from 240, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
42 can be fit into 300 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4537.7857
Subtract 294 from 300 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 42 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4537.78571
Subtracting 42 from 60 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
42 can be fit into 180 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4537.785714
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 168 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 120 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 4537.7857142
Subtract 84 from 120 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
360 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4537.78571428
If we subtract 336 from 360, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4537.78571428 with a remaining 2.4e-08.
