We divide 137719 by 42
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 137719.

Step 1:
42 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 13 / 42

On to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 13 0 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 13, we end up with 13.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 137 / 42

On to step 3:
137 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 11.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 126 from 137 leaves us with 11.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 117 / 42

On to step 4:
117 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 33.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 32.0
If we subtract 84 from 117, we get 33.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 331 / 42

Step 5:
If we divide 331 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 37.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 327.0
Deduct 294 from 331 and we're left with 37.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 37 and continue: 379 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 379 9 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3279.0
Deduct 378 from 379 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 10 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3279.0
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us 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.

Step 8:
When dividing 100 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3279.02
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
42 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3279.023
Subtract 126 from 160 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
42 can be fit into 340 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3279.0238
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 336 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
40 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3279.0238
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
400 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 22.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3279.023809
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 220 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3279.0238095
Deduct 210 from 220 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 100 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3279.02380952
Subtract 84 from 100 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The final result is 3279.02380952 with a remainder of 1.6e-08.
