Let's divide 18707964 by 42
Our goal is to divide 18707964 by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
42 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 18 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 18 0 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 18 leaves us with 18.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 187 / 42

Step 3:
When dividing 187 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 168 from 187 to get 19.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 190 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 190 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 44.0
Subtract 168 from 190 to get 22.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 227 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 227 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 445.0
Subtracting 210 from 227 leaves us with 17.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 179 / 42

Step 6:
42 goes into 179 4 times with a remainder of 11.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4454.0
If we subtract 168 from 179, we get 11.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 116 / 42

On to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 116 2 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 44542.0
Subtract 84 from 116 to get 32.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 32, then carry on: 324 / 42

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 324 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 30.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 445427.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 294 from 324.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 300 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 6.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 445427.7
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 294 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 60 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 445427.71
If we subtract 42 from 60, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 180 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 445427.714
Deduct 168 from 180 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 12:
42 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 445427.7142
If we take 84 away from 120, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
42 can be fit into 360 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 445427.71428
If we subtract 336 from 360, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
240 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 445427.714285
Subtract 210 from 240 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
42 can be fit into 300 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 445427.7142857
If we subtract 294 from 300, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
If we divide 60 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 18.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 445427.71428571
Deduct 42 from 60 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

The final result is 445427.71428571 with a remainder of 1.8e-08.
