We divide 314624 by 42
We want to divide 314624 by 42.

Step 1:
42 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 31 / 42

Advancing to 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 take 0 away from 31, we end up with 31.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 314 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 314 7 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 294 from 314.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 206 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
206 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 38.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 74.0
If we take 168 away from 206, we end up with 38.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 38, then repeat: 382 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 382 9 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 749.0
If we take 378 away from 382, we end up with 4.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 44 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
44 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 7491.0
If we take 42 away from 44, 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.

Step 7:
42 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7491.0
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 42 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 7491.04
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.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 320 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 26.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7491.047
Deduct 294 from 320 and we're left with 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:
If we divide 260 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7491.0476
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:
If we divide 80 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 38.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7491.04761
If we subtract 42 from 80, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 42 fits into 380 9 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7491.047619
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.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7491.047619
If we take 0 away from 20, 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.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 200 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7491.04761904
If we take 168 away from 200, we end up 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.

After the division, we end up with 7491.04761904 and a remainder of 3.2e-08.
