Let's divide 30179 by 42
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 30179.

Step 1:
When dividing 3 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 30 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 30 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 30 to get 30.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 30, then repeat: 301 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
42 can be fit into 301 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 294 from 301 to get 7.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 77 / 42

On to step 4:
When dividing 77 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 35.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 71.0
Deduct 42 from 77 and we're left with 35.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 35 and continue: 359 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 359 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 23.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 718.0
Subtract 336 from 359 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 230 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 20.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 718.5
If we subtract 210 from 230, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
200 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 718.54
Subtract 168 from 200 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
42 goes into 320 7 times with a remainder of 26.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 718.547
Subtracting 294 from 320 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 42 fits into 260 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 718.5476
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 252 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 80 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 718.54761
If we take 42 away from 80, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 380 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 718.547619
Deduct 378 from 380 and we're left 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 12:
The number 42 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 718.547619
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 200 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 718.54761904
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 168 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The final result is 718.54761904 with a remainder of 3.2e-08.
