We're dividing 179248 by 42 
Our goal is to divide 179248 by 42.

On to step 1:
42 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
17 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 17.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 17 and we're left with 17.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 179 / 42

On to step 3:
When dividing 179 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 168 from 179 and we're left with 11.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 112 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 112 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 84 from 112.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 284 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
42 goes into 284 6 times with a remainder of 32.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 426.0
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 252 from 284.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 32, then repeat: 328 / 42

Step 6:
When dividing 328 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4267.0
Subtracting 294 from 328 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
340 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4267.8
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 40 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 4267.8
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.

Step 9:
42 goes into 400 9 times with a remainder of 22.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4267.809
If we take 378 away from 400, we end up 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 10:
The number 42 fits into 220 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4267.8095
Subtracting 210 from 220 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
42 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 4267.80952
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.

Advancing to step 12:
42 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4267.809523
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 340 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4267.8095238
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.

Step 14:
If we divide 40 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4267.8095238
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.

The quotient of the division is 4267.8095238, and the remainder is 4e-08.
