We look at the division of 304807 by 42 
We want to divide 304807 by 42.

Advancing to step 1:
42 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 30 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
30 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left with 30.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 30, then repeat: 304 / 42

On to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 304 7 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 294 from 304, we get 10.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 108 / 42

Step 4:
42 can be fit into 108 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 72.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 84 from 108.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 240 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
42 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 725.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 210 from 240.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 307 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
42 goes into 307 7 times with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7257.0
Subtracting 294 from 307 leaves us with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 130 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 7257.3
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 126 from 130.
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 8:
When dividing 40 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7257.3
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
400 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7257.309
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 378 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
42 can be fit into 220 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7257.3095
If we take 210 away from 220, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 42 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 7257.30952
Deduct 84 from 100 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 42 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7257.309523
Subtracting 126 from 160 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
42 goes into 340 8 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 7257.3095238
If we take 336 away from 340, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
42 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7257.3095238
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The final result is 7257.3095238 with a remainder of 4e-08.
