We're dividing 342262 by 42 
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 342262.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 34 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 34 0 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 34, we end up with 34.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 34 and continue with: 342 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
42 can be fit into 342 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 336 from 342 leaves us with 6.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 62 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
62 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 81.0
If we subtract 42 from 62, we get 20.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 206 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 206 4 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 814.0
If we subtract 168 from 206, we get 38.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 38, then repeat: 382 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 382 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 4.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8149.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 378 from 382.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 40 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 8149.0
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 400 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8149.09
Deduct 378 from 400 and we're left 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.

On to step 9:
42 can be fit into 220 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8149.095
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 210 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
100 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 8149.0952
Subtracting 84 from 100 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 160 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 34.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8149.09523
Deduct 126 from 160 and we're left with 34.
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 12:
42 goes into 340 8 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8149.095238
If we take 336 away from 340, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
40 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8149.095238
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
42 can be fit into 400 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8149.09523809
Deduct 378 from 400 and we're left 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.

Our division results in 8149.09523809 with a remaining 2.2e-08.
