We're dividing 118693 by 42 
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 118693.

Moving on to step 1:
1 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 11 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 11 0 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 0 from 11.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 118 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 118 2 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 84 from 118 and we're left with 34.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 34, then repeat: 346 / 42

Step 4:
42 goes into 346 8 times with a remainder of 10.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 336 from 346.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 109 / 42

Step 5:
When dividing 109 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 25.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 282.0
If we subtract 84 from 109, we get 25.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 253 / 42

Step 6:
42 goes into 253 6 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2826.0
Subtracting 252 from 253 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 10 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2826.0
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 42 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2826.02
Subtracting 84 from 100 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
42 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2826.023
Subtract 126 from 160 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 42 fits into 340 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2826.0238
If we take 336 away from 340, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 40 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2826.0238
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
400 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2826.023809
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.

Moving on to step 13:
220 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2826.0238095
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.

Moving on to step 14:
100 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2826.02380952
If we subtract 84 from 100, we 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 2826.02380952 with a remaining 1.6e-08.
