Let's divide 188056 by 42
Our goal is to divide 188056 by 42.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 18 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
42 goes into 18 0 times with a remainder of 18.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 18, we end up with 18.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 188 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
188 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 20.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 168 from 188, we get 20.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 200 / 42

On to step 4:
If we divide 200 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 44.0
Subtract 168 from 200 to get 32.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 32, then repeat: 325 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 325 7 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 447.0
Subtracting 294 from 325 leaves us with 31.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 316 / 42

On to step 6:
42 can be fit into 316 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4477.0
Deduct 294 from 316 and we're left 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.

Step 7:
If we divide 220 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4477.5
Subtracting 210 from 220 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
42 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4477.52
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.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 42 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4477.523
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 126 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 340 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4477.5238
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.

Moving on to step 11:
40 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4477.5238
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 12:
42 goes into 400 9 times with a remainder of 22.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4477.523809
Deduct 378 from 400 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
220 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4477.5238095
Subtract 210 from 220 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 14:
42 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4477.52380952
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.

The final outcome is 4477.52380952, with a leftover of 1.6e-08.
