We look at the division of 310595 by 42 
Our goal is to divide 310595 by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 31 / 42

Step 2:
42 goes into 31 0 times with a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 31, we get 31.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 310 / 42

Step 3:
When dividing 310 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 16.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 294 from 310 to get 16.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 165 / 42

On to step 4:
When dividing 165 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 39.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 73.0
Deduct 126 from 165 and we're left with 39.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 39, then repeat: 399 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
399 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 739.0
Deduct 378 from 399 and we're left with 21.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 215 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 215 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 7395.0
Deduct 210 from 215 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
42 goes into 50 1 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7395.1
Subtract 42 from 50 to 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 8:
42 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7395.11
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 7395.11 with a balance of 0.038.
