We look at the division of 342542 by 19 
We're looking to find how many times 19 goes into 342542.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 19, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 0 from 3.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 34 / 19

On to step 2:
When dividing 34 by 19, we get 1 with a remainder of 15.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 19 from 34 leaves us with 15.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 152 / 19

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 152 by 19, we get 8 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Deduct 152 from 152 and we're left with 0.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 5 / 19

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 5 by 19, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 180.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 54 / 19

Moving on to step 5:
54 divided by 19 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1802.0
Subtracting 38 from 54 leaves us with 16.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 162 / 19

Moving on to step 6:
162 divided by 19 is 8 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 18028.0
Subtract 152 from 162 to get 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 7:
When dividing 100 by 19, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18028.5
Subtract 95 from 100 to 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.

Step 8:
19 goes into 50 2 times with a remainder of 12.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18028.52
Deduct 38 from 50 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
19 goes into 120 6 times with a remainder of 6.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18028.526
If we take 114 away from 120, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
60 divided by 19 is 3 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18028.5263
Deduct 57 from 60 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
19 goes into 30 1 times with a remainder of 11.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18028.52631
If we subtract 19 from 30, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 110 by 19, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18028.526315
If we take 95 away from 110, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
150 divided by 19 is 7 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18028.5263157
Subtracting 133 from 150 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
170 divided by 19 is 8 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 18028.52631578
If we subtract 152 from 170, 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.

The final result is 18028.52631578 with a remainder of 1.8e-08.
