We look at the division of 29988316 by 42 
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 29988316.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 29 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
42 goes into 29 0 times with a remainder of 29.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 29, we get 29.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 299 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
42 can be fit into 299 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 294 from 299, we get 5.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 58 / 42

On to step 4:
42 can be fit into 58 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 71.0
Subtracting 42 from 58 leaves us with 16.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 168 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 168 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 0.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 714.0
Subtracting 168 from 168 leaves us with 0.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 3 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
42 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7140.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 31 / 42

Step 7:
42 goes into 31 0 times with a remainder of 31.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 71400.0
If we subtract 0 from 31, we get 31.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 316 / 42

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 316 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 714007.0
If we subtract 294 from 316, we get 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 9:
220 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 714007.5
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.

On to step 10:
If we divide 100 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 714007.52
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 84 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 160 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 34.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 714007.523
If we subtract 126 from 160, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 42 fits into 340 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 714007.5238
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 336 from 340.
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 13:
40 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 714007.5238
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left 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 14:
If we divide 400 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 714007.523809
If we take 378 away from 400, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 15:
When dividing 220 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 714007.5238095
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.

Let's proceed to step 16:
When dividing 100 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 714007.52380952
If we take 84 away from 100, we end up 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.

Our division results in 714007.52380952 with a remaining 1.6e-08.
