We look at the division of 144611 by 42 
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 144611.

Moving on to step 1:
1 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 14 / 42

On to step 2:
42 can be fit into 14 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 14, we end up with 14.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 144 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 144 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 126 away from 144, we end up with 18.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 186 / 42

Step 4:
186 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 34.0
If we subtract 168 from 186, we get 18.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 181 / 42

Step 5:
42 can be fit into 181 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 344.0
If we subtract 168 from 181, we get 13.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 131 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 131 3 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3443.0
Subtracting 126 from 131 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
50 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 8.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3443.1
If we take 42 away from 50, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 80 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3443.11
Deduct 42 from 80 and we're left 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 3443.11 with a balance of 0.038.
