34037438 ÷ 42 
We want to divide 34037438 by 42.

On to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 34 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 34 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 34.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 34, we get 34.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 34, then carry on: 340 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
42 can be fit into 340 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Deduct 336 from 340 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 43 / 42

On to step 4:
43 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 81.0
If we take 42 away from 43, we end up with 1.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 17 / 42

On to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 17 0 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 810.0
If we take 0 away from 17, we end up with 17.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 174 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 174 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 6.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8104.0
Subtract 168 from 174 to get 6.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 63 / 42

Advancing to step 7:
42 can be fit into 63 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 81041.0
Deduct 42 from 63 and we're left with 21.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 218 / 42

Step 8:
42 goes into 218 5 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 810415.0
If we subtract 210 from 218, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
42 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 38.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 810415.1
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 380 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 810415.19
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 378 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
42 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 810415.19
Subtract 0 from 20 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 200 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 810415.1904
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 168 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 320 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 26.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 810415.19047
Subtract 294 from 320 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
42 goes into 260 6 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 810415.190476
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 252 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
When dividing 80 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 810415.1904761
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.

On to step 16:
When dividing 380 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 2.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 810415.19047619
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.

The final result is 810415.19047619 with a remainder of 2e-09.
