We look at the division of 42600385 by 842 
Our goal is to divide 42600385 by 842.

Advancing to step 1:
4 divided by 842 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 42 / 842

Moving on to step 2:
842 can be fit into 42 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 0 from 42.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 42, then repeat: 426 / 842

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 842 fits into 426 0 times, leaving a remainder of 426.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 426 to get 426.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 426 and continue: 4260 / 842

Advancing to step 4:
4260 divided by 842 is 5 with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 4210 away from 4260, we end up with 50.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 50 and repeat the process: 500 / 842

Moving on to step 5:
500 divided by 842 is 0 with a remainder of 500.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 50.0
Subtract 0 from 500 to get 500.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 500 and continue with: 5003 / 842

Advancing to step 6:
842 can be fit into 5003 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 793.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 505.0
Subtract 4210 from 5003 to get 793.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 793, then repeat: 7938 / 842

Advancing to step 7:
842 goes into 7938 9 times with a remainder of 360.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5059.0
If we take 7578 away from 7938, we end up with 360.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 360 and continue: 3605 / 842

Moving on to step 8:
The number 842 fits into 3605 4 times, leaving a remainder of 237.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 50594.0
The remainder is 237 after subtracting 3368 from 3605.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2370, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
842 can be fit into 2370 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 686.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 50594.2
If we subtract 1684 from 2370, we get 686.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6860, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 6860 by 842, we get 8 with a remainder of 124.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 50594.28
Subtracting 6736 from 6860 leaves us with 124.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1240, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 1240 by 842, we get 1 with a remainder of 398.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 50594.281
The remainder is 398 after subtracting 842 from 1240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3980, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
842 goes into 3980 4 times with a remainder of 612.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 50594.2814
Deduct 3368 from 3980 and we're left with 612.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 6120 by 842, we get 7 with a remainder of 226.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 50594.28147
If we subtract 5894 from 6120, we get 226.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2260, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 842 fits into 2260 2 times, leaving a remainder of 576.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 50594.281472
Deduct 1684 from 2260 and we're left with 576.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5760, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
If we divide 5760 by 842, we get 6 and a remainder of 708.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 50594.2814726
If we take 5052 away from 5760, we end up with 708.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7080, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
The number 842 fits into 7080 8 times, leaving a remainder of 344.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 50594.28147268
If we subtract 6736 from 7080, we get 344.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3440, and continue the process.

Our division results in 50594.28147268 with a remaining 3.44e-07.
