We're dividing 42358186 by 842 
Our goal is to divide 42358186 by 842.

Going ahead to step 1:
842 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 42 / 842

Moving on to step 2:
The number 842 fits into 42 0 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 42 and we're left with 42.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 423 / 842

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 423 by 842, we get 0 with a remainder of 423.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 423 to get 423.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 423, then repeat: 4235 / 842

On to step 4:
4235 divided by 842 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 4210 away from 4235, we end up with 25.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 258 / 842

Going ahead to step 5:
258 divided by 842 is 0 with a remainder of 258.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 50.0
Subtracting 0 from 258 leaves us with 258.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 258, then repeat: 2581 / 842

Going ahead to step 6:
842 can be fit into 2581 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 503.0
If we subtract 2526 from 2581, we get 55.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 55 and continue: 558 / 842

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 842 fits into 558 0 times, leaving a remainder of 558.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5030.0
Subtract 0 from 558 to get 558.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 558 and continue with: 5586 / 842

Let's proceed to step 8:
842 can be fit into 5586 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 534.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 50306.0
The remainder is 534 after subtracting 5052 from 5586.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5340, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 5340 by 842, we get 6 and a remainder of 288.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 50306.6
Subtract 5052 from 5340 to get 288.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2880, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
2880 divided by 842 is 3 with a remainder of 354.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 50306.63
Subtracting 2526 from 2880 leaves us with 354.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3540, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 3540 by 842, we get 4 with a remainder of 172.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 50306.634
Subtracting 3368 from 3540 leaves us with 172.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1720, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
842 goes into 1720 2 times with a remainder of 36.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 50306.6342
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 1684 from 1720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 842 fits into 360 0 times, leaving a remainder of 360.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 50306.6342
If we take 0 away from 360, we end up with 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 3600 by 842, we get 4 with a remainder of 232.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 50306.634204
Subtracting 3368 from 3600 leaves us with 232.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2320, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
842 goes into 2320 2 times with a remainder of 636.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 50306.6342042
Subtracting 1684 from 2320 leaves us with 636.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
842 goes into 6360 7 times with a remainder of 466.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 50306.63420427
Subtract 5894 from 6360 to get 466.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4660, and continue the process.

Our division results in 50306.63420427 with a remaining 4.66e-07.
