We're dividing 186344 by 42 
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 186344.

Moving on to step 1:
1 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 18 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 18 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 0 from 18.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 186 / 42

On to step 3:
When dividing 186 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 18.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 168 from 186 leaves us with 18.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 183 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 183 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 15.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 44.0
Deduct 168 from 183 and we're left with 15.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 154 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
154 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 443.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 126 from 154.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 284 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
42 goes into 284 6 times with a remainder of 32.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4436.0
If we subtract 252 from 284, 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.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 320 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 26.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4436.7
Subtracting 294 from 320 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 260 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4436.76
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.

Advancing to step 9:
42 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4436.761
If we take 42 away from 80, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 10:
42 can be fit into 380 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 4436.7619
Subtracting 378 from 380 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 11:
42 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 4436.7619
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
42 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4436.761904
Subtracting 168 from 200 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 13:
42 can be fit into 320 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4436.7619047
Subtracting 294 from 320 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 42 fits into 260 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4436.76190476
Deduct 252 from 260 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 4436.76190476, and the remainder is 8e-09.
