We look at the division of 316608 by 42 
Our goal is to divide 316608 by 42.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 31 / 42

Step 2:
If we divide 31 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 31.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 31 leaves us with 31.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 316 / 42

Step 3:
42 can be fit into 316 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 294 from 316 to get 22.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 226 / 42

On to step 4:
When dividing 226 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 75.0
Subtracting 210 from 226 leaves us with 16.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 160 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
42 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 753.0
Deduct 126 from 160 and we're left with 34.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 348 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
42 can be fit into 348 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7538.0
Deduct 336 from 348 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 120 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 36.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7538.2
Subtract 84 from 120 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
42 goes into 360 8 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7538.28
If we subtract 336 from 360, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 240 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7538.285
Deduct 210 from 240 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 300 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7538.2857
Deduct 294 from 300 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
42 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7538.28571
If we subtract 42 from 60, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
42 can be fit into 180 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 7538.285714
Deduct 168 from 180 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
42 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7538.2857142
Subtracting 84 from 120 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
360 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7538.28571428
Subtracting 336 from 360 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 7538.28571428, and the remainder is 2.4e-08.
