371555 ÷ 42 
Our goal is to divide 371555 by 42.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 37 / 42

Step 2:
If we divide 37 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 37.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 37 and we're left with 37.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 37, then repeat: 371 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
42 can be fit into 371 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 336 from 371.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 355 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 355 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 19.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 88.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 336 from 355.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 195 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 195 4 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 884.0
If we take 168 away from 195, we end up with 27.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 275 / 42

On to step 6:
When dividing 275 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 23.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8846.0
Subtract 252 from 275 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
42 can be fit into 230 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8846.5
Subtracting 210 from 230 leaves us with 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 8:
42 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8846.54
Subtract 168 from 200 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
320 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 26.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8846.547
Subtracting 294 from 320 leaves us 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 10:
If we divide 260 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8846.5476
Subtracting 252 from 260 leaves us 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.

On to step 11:
80 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 8846.54761
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.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 380 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8846.547619
Deduct 378 from 380 and we're left 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.

Step 13:
20 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8846.547619
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 200 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8846.54761904
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.

Our division results in 8846.54761904 with a remaining 3.2e-08.
