We divide 187119 by 42
We want to divide 187119 by 42.

Step 1:
1 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 18 / 42

On to step 2:
If we divide 18 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 18 leaves us with 18.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 187 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 187 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 168 from 187 leaves us with 19.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 191 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 191 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 44.0
If we subtract 168 from 191, we get 23.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 231 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
42 can be fit into 231 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 445.0
If we take 210 away from 231, we end up with 21.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 219 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
42 goes into 219 5 times with a remainder of 9.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4455.0
If we take 210 away from 219, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 90 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 6.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4455.2
If we take 84 away from 90, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
42 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4455.21
Subtracting 42 from 60 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
42 goes into 180 4 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4455.214
Deduct 168 from 180 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 120 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4455.2142
If we take 84 away from 120, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 360 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4455.21428
Subtract 336 from 360 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 240 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4455.214285
Subtract 210 from 240 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 300 7 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4455.2142857
If we subtract 294 from 300, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 60 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 4455.21428571
If we subtract 42 from 60, we 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.

The final outcome is 4455.21428571, with a leftover of 1.8e-08.
