Let's divide 348769 by 42
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 348769.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 0 from 3.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 34 / 42

Step 2:
42 goes into 34 0 times with a remainder of 34.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 0 from 34.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 348 / 42

Step 3:
If we divide 348 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 12.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Deduct 336 from 348 and we're left with 12.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 127 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
42 goes into 127 3 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 83.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 126 from 127.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 16 / 42

Step 5:
The number 42 fits into 16 0 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 830.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 0 from 16.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 169 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
42 can be fit into 169 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8304.0
Subtract 168 from 169 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
42 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 8304.0
Subtracting 0 from 10 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 8:
The number 42 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8304.02
If we subtract 84 from 100, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 9:
160 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8304.023
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 126 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
42 can be fit into 340 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8304.0238
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 336 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 42 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8304.0238
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
400 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 22.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8304.023809
Subtract 378 from 400 to 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.

Moving on to step 13:
42 goes into 220 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8304.0238095
If we take 210 away from 220, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 14:
42 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8304.02380952
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.

The final result is 8304.02380952 with a remainder of 1.6e-08.
