We're dividing 119597 by 42 
We want to divide 119597 by 42.

Moving on to step 1:
1 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 11 / 42

Step 2:
42 goes into 11 0 times with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 11 to get 11.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 119 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 119 2 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 84 away from 119, we end up with 35.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 35, then repeat: 355 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
42 can be fit into 355 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28.0
If we take 336 away from 355, we end up with 19.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 199 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 199 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 284.0
If we subtract 168 from 199, we get 31.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 317 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 317 7 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2847.0
If we take 294 away from 317, we end up with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
42 goes into 230 5 times with a remainder of 20.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2847.5
If we take 210 away from 230, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 8:
42 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2847.54
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
42 goes into 320 7 times with a remainder of 26.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2847.547
If we subtract 294 from 320, we 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 10:
When dividing 260 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2847.5476
If we subtract 252 from 260, 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.

Moving on to step 11:
42 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2847.54761
Subtracting 42 from 80 leaves us with 38.
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 12:
42 goes into 380 9 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2847.547619
If we take 378 away from 380, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 20 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2847.547619
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.

On to step 14:
42 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2847.54761904
If we subtract 168 from 200, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2847.54761904 with a remaining 3.2e-08.
