Let's divide 12116544 by 42
Our goal is to divide 12116544 by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 12 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
42 can be fit into 12 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 0 from 12.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 121 / 42

Step 3:
42 goes into 121 2 times with a remainder of 37.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 84 from 121.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 371 / 42

On to step 4:
When dividing 371 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 28.0
If we subtract 336 from 371, we get 35.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 356 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 356 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 288.0
Subtracting 336 from 356 leaves us with 20.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 205 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
42 goes into 205 4 times with a remainder of 37.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2884.0
Subtract 168 from 205 to get 37.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 37 and repeat the process: 374 / 42

Going ahead to step 7:
374 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 28848.0
If we take 336 away from 374, we end up with 38.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 38 and continue: 384 / 42

On to step 8:
384 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 288489.0
Deduct 378 from 384 and we're left with 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 9:
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: 288489.1
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 42 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 10:
180 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 288489.14
Subtracting 168 from 180 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
42 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 36.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 288489.142
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 84 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 42 fits into 360 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 288489.1428
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 336 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 13:
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: 288489.14285
If we subtract 210 from 240, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
42 can be fit into 300 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 288489.142857
Deduct 294 from 300 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
The number 42 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 288489.1428571
If we take 42 away from 60, we end up 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.

Step 16:
When dividing 180 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 288489.14285714
Deduct 168 from 180 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 288489.14285714 and a remainder of 1.2e-08.
