We divide 42179302 by 306
We're looking to find how many times 306 goes into 42179302.

On to step 1:
306 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 42 / 306

Step 2:
306 can be fit into 42 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 42, we end up with 42.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 421 / 306

Step 3:
306 can be fit into 421 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 115.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 306 from 421 to get 115.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 115, then repeat: 1157 / 306

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 1157 by 306, we get 3 and a remainder of 239.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
The remainder is 239 after subtracting 918 from 1157.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 239 and continue with: 2399 / 306

Let's proceed to step 5:
306 can be fit into 2399 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 257.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 137.0
Deduct 2142 from 2399 and we're left with 257.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 257, then repeat: 2573 / 306

Step 6:
306 can be fit into 2573 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 125.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1378.0
Deduct 2448 from 2573 and we're left with 125.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 125, then repeat: 1250 / 306

On to step 7:
1250 divided by 306 is 4 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13784.0
If we subtract 1224 from 1250, we get 26.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 262 / 306

Step 8:
306 goes into 262 0 times with a remainder of 262.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 137840.0
Subtract 0 from 262 to get 262.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2620, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
2620 divided by 306 is 8 with a remainder of 172.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 137840.8
Subtract 2448 from 2620 to get 172.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1720, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
1720 divided by 306 is 5 with a remainder of 190.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 137840.85
The remainder is 190 after subtracting 1530 from 1720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1900, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
1900 divided by 306 is 6 with a remainder of 64.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 137840.856
Subtract 1836 from 1900 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
306 goes into 640 2 times with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 137840.8562
Subtracting 612 from 640 leaves us 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 13:
280 divided by 306 is 0 with a remainder of 280.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 137840.8562
Subtracting 0 from 280 leaves us with 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2800, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
306 goes into 2800 9 times with a remainder of 46.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 137840.856209
Deduct 2754 from 2800 and we're left with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
When dividing 460 by 306, we get 1 with a remainder of 154.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 137840.8562091
Subtracting 306 from 460 leaves us with 154.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1540, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
306 goes into 1540 5 times with a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 137840.85620915
Deduct 1530 from 1540 and we're left 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 137840.85620915 with a balance of 1e-08.
