1918 divided by 42 
We want to divide 1918 by 42.

Advancing 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
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 19 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 19 0 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 19 to get 19.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 191 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
42 can be fit into 191 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 168 from 191, we get 23.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 238 / 42

On to step 4:
If we divide 238 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 28.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 45.0
If we take 210 away from 238, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 5:
280 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 28.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 45.6
Deduct 252 from 280 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 280 6 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 45.66
If we subtract 252 from 280, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Our division results in 45.66 with a remaining 0.028.
