148553 divided by 42 
We want to divide 148553 by 42.

Advancing to step 1:
42 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 14 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 14.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 14 to get 14.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 148 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 148 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 22.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 126 from 148, we get 22.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 225 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 225 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 35.0
If we take 210 away from 225, we end up with 15.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 155 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
155 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 353.0
Subtracting 126 from 155 leaves us with 29.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 293 / 42

On to step 6:
293 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3536.0
Subtract 252 from 293 to get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 410 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 32.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3536.9
Subtract 378 from 410 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 320 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3536.97
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.

Step 9:
260 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3536.976
Deduct 252 from 260 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 80 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 38.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3536.9761
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 11:
If we divide 380 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3536.97619
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
20 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3536.97619
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
200 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3536.9761904
Deduct 168 from 200 and we're left 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.

On to step 14:
The number 42 fits into 320 7 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3536.97619047
Subtract 294 from 320 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3536.97619047 with a balance of 2.6e-08.
