Let's divide 718383 by 42
We want to divide 718383 by 42.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 71 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 71 1 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 42 from 71.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 298 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
42 can be fit into 298 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtract 294 from 298 to get 4.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 43 / 42

Step 4:
42 can be fit into 43 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 171.0
Subtracting 42 from 43 leaves us with 1.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 18 / 42

On to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 18 0 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1710.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 0 from 18.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 183 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
183 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 15.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17104.0
Subtract 168 from 183 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 150 3 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 17104.3
Deduct 126 from 150 and we're left 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.

Step 8:
When dividing 240 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17104.35
Subtracting 210 from 240 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 300 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17104.357
Subtract 294 from 300 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
42 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 18.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17104.3571
If we take 42 away from 60, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 42 fits into 180 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17104.35714
If we take 168 away from 180, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 120 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17104.357142
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.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 360 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17104.3571428
If we take 336 away from 360, we end up 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.

Step 14:
42 can be fit into 240 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17104.35714285
If we take 210 away from 240, we end up 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.

After the division, we end up with 17104.35714285 and a remainder of 3e-08.
