Let's divide 74315 by 42
Our goal is to divide 74315 by 42.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 74 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 74 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 42 from 74, we get 32.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 32, then repeat: 323 / 42

On to step 3:
If we divide 323 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 29.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 294 from 323 leaves us with 29.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 291 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 291 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 176.0
Subtracting 252 from 291 leaves us with 39.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 39, then repeat: 395 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 395 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1769.0
Subtracting 378 from 395 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Step 6:
170 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1769.4
If we subtract 168 from 170, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
42 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1769.4
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
42 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1769.404
Subtracting 168 from 200 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 320 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 26.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1769.4047
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 294 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
42 goes into 260 6 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1769.40476
If we take 252 away from 260, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 80 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 38.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1769.404761
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 42 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 380 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1769.4047619
Subtract 378 from 380 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 20 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1769.4047619
Subtracting 0 from 20 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.

The final outcome is 1769.4047619, with a leftover of 2e-08.
