We divide 187216 by 42
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 187216.

Let's proceed to step 1:
42 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 18 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
42 goes into 18 0 times with a remainder of 18.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 0 from 18.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 187 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
42 can be fit into 187 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 168 from 187 to get 19.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 192 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
192 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 44.0
If we take 168 away from 192, we end up with 24.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 241 / 42

Step 5:
When dividing 241 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 31.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 445.0
Subtracting 210 from 241 leaves us with 31.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 316 / 42

On to step 6:
316 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 22.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4457.0
Subtract 294 from 316 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 220 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4457.5
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 210 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 100 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4457.52
If we take 84 away from 100, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 9:
42 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4457.523
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.

Step 10:
The number 42 fits into 340 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4457.5238
Deduct 336 from 340 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 40 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4457.5238
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 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:
42 goes into 400 9 times with a remainder of 22.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4457.523809
If we take 378 away from 400, we end up with 22.
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:
If we divide 220 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 4457.5238095
Subtract 210 from 220 to get 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:
When dividing 100 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 4457.52380952
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.

The quotient of the division is 4457.52380952, and the remainder is 1.6e-08.
