We're dividing 184544 by 42 
We want to figure out the number of times 184544 can be divided by 42.

On to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 18 / 42

On to step 2:
42 goes into 18 0 times with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 18 leaves us with 18.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 184 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 184 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 168 from 184 and we're left with 16.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 165 / 42

On to step 4:
If we divide 165 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 39.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 43.0
Subtract 126 from 165 to get 39.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 39 and continue with: 394 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
42 goes into 394 9 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 439.0
Subtracting 378 from 394 leaves us with 16.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 164 / 42

On to step 6:
When dividing 164 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4393.0
Subtracting 126 from 164 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 380 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 2.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4393.9
Subtracting 378 from 380 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 20 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 4393.9
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
200 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4393.904
Subtracting 168 from 200 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 320 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 26.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4393.9047
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 294 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 260 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4393.90476
If we subtract 252 from 260, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 80 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 38.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4393.904761
Subtracting 42 from 80 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 380 9 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4393.9047619
If we take 378 away from 380, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
20 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4393.9047619
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 4393.9047619, and the remainder is 2e-08.
