Let's divide 152500 by 42
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 152500.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 15 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 15 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 15.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 15, we end up with 15.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 152 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 152 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 126 from 152 and we're left with 26.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 265 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
42 can be fit into 265 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 36.0
If we subtract 252 from 265, we get 13.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 13, then carry on: 130 / 42

On to step 5:
42 can be fit into 130 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 363.0
Subtracting 126 from 130 leaves us with 4.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 40 / 42

On to step 6:
40 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3630.0
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 400 9 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3630.9
Subtract 378 from 400 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 42 fits into 220 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3630.95
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 210 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
42 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3630.952
If we subtract 84 from 100, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 42 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3630.9523
Subtracting 126 from 160 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
42 goes into 340 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3630.95238
Subtract 336 from 340 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
40 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3630.95238
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
42 goes into 400 9 times with a remainder of 22.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3630.9523809
If we take 378 away from 400, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 14:
220 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3630.95238095
Subtracting 210 from 220 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3630.95238095 with a balance of 1e-08.
