Let's divide 104337 by 42
We want to divide 104337 by 42.

Moving on to step 1:
1 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 10 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
42 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left with 10.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 104 / 42

On to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 104 2 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 84 from 104 to get 20.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 203 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 203 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24.0
Subtracting 168 from 203 leaves us with 35.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 353 / 42

On to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 353 8 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 248.0
Deduct 336 from 353 and we're left with 17.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 177 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
42 can be fit into 177 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2484.0
Deduct 168 from 177 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 90 2 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2484.2
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 84 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 8:
42 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 18.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2484.21
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 42 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
42 can be fit into 180 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2484.214
If we take 168 away from 180, we end up 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.

Advancing 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: 2484.2142
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.

Advancing to step 11:
42 goes into 360 8 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2484.21428
If we subtract 336 from 360, we 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
240 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2484.214285
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 210 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 300 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2484.2142857
Subtract 294 from 300 to 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:
When dividing 60 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2484.21428571
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.

Our division results in 2484.21428571 with a remaining 1.8e-08.
