We look at the division of 42606144 by 174 
Our goal is to divide 42606144 by 174.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 174, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 42 / 174

On to step 2:
When dividing 42 by 174, we get 0 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 0 from 42.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 42 and repeat the process: 426 / 174

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 426 by 174, we get 2 with a remainder of 78.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 348 from 426 to get 78.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 78, then carry on: 780 / 174

Step 4:
174 goes into 780 4 times with a remainder of 84.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we take 696 away from 780, we end up with 84.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 84, then repeat: 846 / 174

Moving on to step 5:
174 can be fit into 846 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 150.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 244.0
The remainder is 150 after subtracting 696 from 846.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 150 and continue: 1501 / 174

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 1501 by 174, we get 8 with a remainder of 109.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2448.0
The remainder is 109 after subtracting 1392 from 1501.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 109, then repeat: 1094 / 174

Advancing to step 7:
174 goes into 1094 6 times with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24486.0
Subtract 1044 from 1094 to get 50.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 50 and continue: 504 / 174

Moving on to step 8:
The number 174 fits into 504 2 times, leaving a remainder of 156.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 244862.0
Deduct 348 from 504 and we're left with 156.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 174 fits into 1560 8 times, leaving a remainder of 168.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 244862.8
Deduct 1392 from 1560 and we're left with 168.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1680, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 1680 by 174, we get 9 with a remainder of 114.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 244862.89
Subtract 1566 from 1680 to get 114.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
174 goes into 1140 6 times with a remainder of 96.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 244862.896
Deduct 1044 from 1140 and we're left with 96.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 174 fits into 960 5 times, leaving a remainder of 90.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 244862.8965
Deduct 870 from 960 and we're left with 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 900, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 174 fits into 900 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 244862.89655
If we subtract 870 from 900, we 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 244862.89655 with a balance of 3e-05.
