We're dividing 16186894 by 42 
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 16186894.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 16 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
42 can be fit into 16 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 16, we end up with 16.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 161 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 161 3 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 126 away from 161, we end up with 35.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 35 and continue: 358 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 358 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 22.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 38.0
Deduct 336 from 358 and we're left with 22.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 226 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
42 goes into 226 5 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 385.0
If we subtract 210 from 226, we get 16.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 168 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 168 4 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3854.0
If we take 168 away from 168, we end up with 0.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 9 / 42

Going ahead to step 7:
42 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 38540.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 94 / 42

On to step 8:
42 goes into 94 2 times with a remainder of 10.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 385402.0
Subtracting 84 from 94 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 100 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 385402.2
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 84 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
42 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 34.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 385402.23
If we subtract 126 from 160, we get 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:
If we divide 340 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 385402.238
Deduct 336 from 340 and we're left 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.

On to step 12:
When dividing 40 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 385402.238
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
42 can be fit into 400 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 385402.23809
If we subtract 378 from 400, we get 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 14:
42 can be fit into 220 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 385402.238095
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.

Going ahead to step 15:
42 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 385402.2380952
Deduct 84 from 100 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 16:
160 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 385402.23809523
If we take 126 away from 160, we end up 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.

The quotient of the division is 385402.23809523, and the remainder is 3.4e-08.
