We look at the division of 188753 by 42 
Our goal is to divide 188753 by 42.

On to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 18 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
42 can be fit into 18 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 18, we end up with 18.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 188 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 188 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 20.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 168 from 188, we get 20.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 207 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 207 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 39.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 44.0
Subtracting 168 from 207 leaves us with 39.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 39 and repeat the process: 395 / 42

Step 5:
When dividing 395 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 17.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 449.0
Subtracting 378 from 395 leaves us with 17.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 173 / 42

On to step 6:
42 goes into 173 4 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4494.0
If we subtract 168 from 173, we get 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:
42 can be fit into 50 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4494.1
If we subtract 42 from 50, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
42 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4494.11
If we take 42 away from 80, we end up 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.

The quotient of the division is 4494.11, and the remainder is 0.038.
