We're dividing 842342 by 71 
Our goal is to divide 842342 by 71.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 71 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 84 / 71

On to step 2:
When dividing 84 by 71, we get 1 with a remainder of 13.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 71 from 84 and we're left with 13.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 132 / 71

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 132 by 71, we get 1 with a remainder of 61.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 61 after subtracting 71 from 132.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 61, then repeat: 613 / 71

On to step 4:
71 goes into 613 8 times with a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 118.0
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 568 from 613.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 45, then repeat: 454 / 71

On to step 5:
71 goes into 454 6 times with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1186.0
Deduct 426 from 454 and we're left with 28.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 282 / 71

Step 6:
If we divide 282 by 71, we get 3 and a remainder of 69.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11863.0
If we subtract 213 from 282, we get 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
71 can be fit into 690 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 51.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11863.9
If we take 639 away from 690, we end up with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
71 goes into 510 7 times with a remainder of 13.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11863.97
Subtract 497 from 510 to get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
71 goes into 130 1 times with a remainder of 59.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11863.971
If we take 71 away from 130, we end up with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 71 fits into 590 8 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11863.9718
Subtract 568 from 590 to get 22.
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 11:
If we divide 220 by 71, we get 3 and a remainder of 7.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11863.97183
Deduct 213 from 220 and we're left with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
70 divided by 71 is 0 with a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 11863.97183
Deduct 0 from 70 and we're left with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 700 by 71, we get 9 with a remainder of 61.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11863.9718309
If we take 639 away from 700, we end up with 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 71 fits into 610 8 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 11863.97183098
If we subtract 568 from 610, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 11863.97183098 and a remainder of 4.2e-08.
