42631238 divided by 842 
Our goal is to divide 42631238 by 842.

Advancing to step 1:
842 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 42 / 842

On to step 2:
842 can be fit into 42 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 42, we get 42.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 426 / 842

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 426 by 842, we get 0 with a remainder of 426.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 426 after subtracting 0 from 426.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 426 and continue: 4263 / 842

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 4263 by 842, we get 5 with a remainder of 53.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 4210 from 4263 to get 53.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 53, then repeat: 531 / 842

Advancing to step 5:
842 goes into 531 0 times with a remainder of 531.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 50.0
If we subtract 0 from 531, we get 531.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 531, then repeat: 5312 / 842

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 5312 by 842, we get 6 with a remainder of 260.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 506.0
Subtract 5052 from 5312 to get 260.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 260, then repeat: 2603 / 842

Going ahead to step 7:
842 can be fit into 2603 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 77.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5063.0
The remainder is 77 after subtracting 2526 from 2603.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 77 and continue: 778 / 842

Advancing to step 8:
The number 842 fits into 778 0 times, leaving a remainder of 778.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 50630.0
The remainder is 778 after subtracting 0 from 778.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7780, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 7780 by 842, we get 9 with a remainder of 202.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 50630.9
Subtract 7578 from 7780 to get 202.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2020, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
2020 divided by 842 is 2 with a remainder of 336.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 50630.92
If we take 1684 away from 2020, we end up with 336.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
842 can be fit into 3360 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 834.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 50630.923
If we take 2526 away from 3360, we end up with 834.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 842 fits into 8340 9 times, leaving a remainder of 762.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 50630.9239
If we take 7578 away from 8340, we end up with 762.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7620, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 7620 by 842, we get 9 with a remainder of 42.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 50630.92399
Subtract 7578 from 7620 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 50630.92399 with a balance of 4.2e-05.
