We're dividing 334720 by 42 
We want to divide 334720 by 42.

Step 1:
42 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 33 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
42 can be fit into 33 0 times, resulting in 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.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 334 / 42

On to step 3:
When dividing 334 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 294 from 334, we get 40.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 407 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
407 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 79.0
If we subtract 378 from 407, we get 29.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 292 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
42 can be fit into 292 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 796.0
If we subtract 252 from 292, we get 40.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 400 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 400 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7969.0
Deduct 378 from 400 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 220 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 7969.5
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.

Let's proceed to 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: 7969.52
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 84 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 160 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 34.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7969.523
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.

On to step 10:
42 goes into 340 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7969.5238
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.

On to step 11:
40 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7969.5238
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
400 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 22.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7969.523809
Subtracting 378 from 400 leaves us 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.

Step 13:
When dividing 220 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7969.5238095
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.

On to step 14:
If we divide 100 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7969.52380952
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.

Our division results in 7969.52380952 with a remaining 1.6e-08.
