We divide 34291 by 42
Our goal is to divide 34291 by 42.

Step 1:
42 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 0 from 3.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 34 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 34 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 34.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 34 to get 34.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 34, then carry on: 342 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
42 goes into 342 8 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 336 from 342 to get 6.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 69 / 42

On to step 4:
The number 42 fits into 69 1 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 81.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 42 from 69.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 271 / 42

Step 5:
271 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 816.0
Subtracting 252 from 271 leaves us with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
42 can be fit into 190 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 816.4
Subtracting 168 from 190 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
42 can be fit into 220 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 816.45
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.

On to step 8:
42 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 816.452
If we take 84 away from 100, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
160 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 816.4523
Subtract 126 from 160 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
340 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 816.45238
Deduct 336 from 340 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
42 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 816.45238
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 400 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 816.4523809
Subtracting 378 from 400 leaves us with 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.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 816.45238095
Subtract 210 from 220 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.

The final outcome is 816.45238095, with a leftover of 1e-08.
