148918 divided by 42 
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 148918.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
42 goes into 14 0 times with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 14, we end up with 14.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 148 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 148 3 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 126 away from 148, we end up with 22.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 229 / 42

On to step 4:
42 goes into 229 5 times with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 35.0
Subtract 210 from 229 to get 19.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 19, then repeat: 191 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 191 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 354.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 168 from 191.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 238 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 238 5 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3545.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 210 from 238.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 280 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3545.6
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 252 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 42 fits into 280 6 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3545.66
Deduct 252 from 280 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3545.66 with a balance of 0.028.
