304762 divided by 42 
Our goal is to divide 304762 by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
3 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 30 / 42

Step 2:
42 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 30.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 30 and continue with: 304 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
304 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 294 from 304 to get 10.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 107 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 107 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 23.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 72.0
If we take 84 away from 107, we end up with 23.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 236 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 236 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 26.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 725.0
If we subtract 210 from 236, we get 26.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 262 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
42 can be fit into 262 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7256.0
Deduct 252 from 262 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.

Step 7:
42 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 7256.2
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
160 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 7256.23
Deduct 126 from 160 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 340 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 7256.238
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 42 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7256.238
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.

Advancing to step 11:
42 goes into 400 9 times with a remainder of 22.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7256.23809
If we subtract 378 from 400, we 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.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 220 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7256.238095
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.

Moving on to step 13:
100 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7256.2380952
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.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 42 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7256.23809523
Deduct 126 from 160 and we're left 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.

Our division results in 7256.23809523 with a remaining 3.4e-08.
