Let's divide 72038 by 42
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 72038.

Let's proceed to step 1:
42 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 72 / 42

Step 2:
If we divide 72 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 30.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 42 from 72 and we're left with 30.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 30, then repeat: 300 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
42 goes into 300 7 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 294 from 300, we get 6.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 63 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 63 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 21.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 171.0
Subtracting 42 from 63 leaves us with 21.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 218 / 42

On to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 218 5 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1715.0
Deduct 210 from 218 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1715.1
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.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 380 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1715.19
Deduct 378 from 380 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 8:
42 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1715.19
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 200 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1715.1904
If we subtract 168 from 200, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 42 fits into 320 7 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1715.19047
Subtract 294 from 320 to get 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 11:
42 can be fit into 260 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1715.190476
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
80 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 38.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1715.1904761
If we subtract 42 from 80, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
380 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1715.19047619
If we subtract 378 from 380, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 1715.19047619, and the remainder is 2e-09.
