We're dividing 42159367 by 146 
Our goal is to divide 42159367 by 146.

Let's proceed to step 1:
4 divided by 146 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 42 / 146

Step 2:
146 goes into 42 0 times with a remainder of 42.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 42, we get 42.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 421 / 146

Step 3:
421 divided by 146 is 2 with a remainder of 129.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 292 from 421 leaves us with 129.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 129 and continue: 1295 / 146

Let's proceed to step 4:
146 can be fit into 1295 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 127.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 28.0
Subtract 1168 from 1295 to get 127.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 127, then carry on: 1279 / 146

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 1279 by 146, we get 8 with a remainder of 111.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 288.0
The remainder is 111 after subtracting 1168 from 1279.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 111, then repeat: 1113 / 146

Step 6:
The number 146 fits into 1113 7 times, leaving a remainder of 91.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2887.0
If we subtract 1022 from 1113, we get 91.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 91, then repeat: 916 / 146

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 916 by 146, we get 6 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 28876.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 876 from 916.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 407 / 146

Advancing to step 8:
146 can be fit into 407 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 115.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 288762.0
The remainder is 115 after subtracting 292 from 407.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
146 can be fit into 1150 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 128.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 288762.7
Subtracting 1022 from 1150 leaves us with 128.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1280, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
146 can be fit into 1280 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 112.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 288762.78
If we take 1168 away from 1280, we end up with 112.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 146 fits into 1120 7 times, leaving a remainder of 98.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 288762.787
If we take 1022 away from 1120, we end up with 98.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 980, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 980 by 146, we get 6 and a remainder of 104.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 288762.7876
Subtracting 876 from 980 leaves us with 104.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1040, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 146 fits into 1040 7 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 288762.78767
Subtract 1022 from 1040 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
180 divided by 146 is 1 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 288762.787671
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 146 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 15:
146 goes into 340 2 times with a remainder of 48.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 288762.7876712
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 292 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
146 goes into 480 3 times with a remainder of 42.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 288762.78767123
Subtract 438 from 480 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

The final result is 288762.78767123 with a remainder of 4.2e-08.
