We look at the division of 331196 by 42 
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 331196.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 3 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 33 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
33 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 33 to get 33.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 33 and repeat the process: 331 / 42

Step 3:
When dividing 331 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 37.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 294 from 331.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 371 / 42

On to step 4:
The number 42 fits into 371 8 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 78.0
If we take 336 away from 371, we end up with 35.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 35 and repeat the process: 359 / 42

Step 5:
If we divide 359 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 788.0
Deduct 336 from 359 and we're left with 23.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 236 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 236 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 26.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7885.0
Subtracting 210 from 236 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
42 can be fit into 260 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7885.6
Subtracting 252 from 260 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
42 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7885.61
If we subtract 42 from 80, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
42 can be fit into 380 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7885.619
If we take 378 away from 380, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 42 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7885.619
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 11:
200 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7885.61904
If we take 168 away from 200, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 320 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 26.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7885.619047
Deduct 294 from 320 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 260 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7885.6190476
If we subtract 252 from 260, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
80 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 7885.61904761
If we take 42 away from 80, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 7885.61904761, and the remainder is 3.8e-08.
