Let's divide 332959 by 42
We want to divide 332959 by 42.

Step 1:
42 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 0 from 3.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 33 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
33 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 33.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 33 to get 33.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 33, then carry on: 332 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
332 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 38.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 294 from 332.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 389 / 42

Step 4:
When dividing 389 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 79.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 378 from 389.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 115 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 115 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 31.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 792.0
Subtracting 84 from 115 leaves us with 31.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 319 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 319 7 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7927.0
Deduct 294 from 319 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 42 fits into 250 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7927.5
Subtract 210 from 250 to get 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:
The number 42 fits into 400 9 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 7927.59
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.

Advancing to step 9:
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: 7927.595
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.

Moving on to step 10:
42 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7927.5952
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 84 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 11:
42 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 34.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7927.59523
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.

Moving on to step 12:
42 can be fit into 340 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7927.595238
Subtract 336 from 340 to get 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 13:
40 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7927.595238
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 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 14:
When dividing 400 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 22.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7927.59523809
Subtract 378 from 400 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 7927.59523809, and the remainder is 2.2e-08.
