We're dividing 42374342 by 159 
Our goal is to divide 42374342 by 159.

Let's proceed to step 1:
159 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 42 / 159

Moving on to step 2:
The number 159 fits into 42 0 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 0 from 42.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 423 / 159

Going ahead to step 3:
159 can be fit into 423 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 105.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 318 from 423 and we're left with 105.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 105, then carry on: 1057 / 159

On to step 4:
1057 divided by 159 is 6 with a remainder of 103.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 26.0
If we take 954 away from 1057, we end up with 103.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 103, then repeat: 1034 / 159

Let's proceed to step 5:
159 can be fit into 1034 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 266.0
Subtracting 954 from 1034 leaves us with 80.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 80 and continue: 803 / 159

Moving on to step 6:
159 can be fit into 803 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2665.0
Subtract 795 from 803 to get 8.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 84 / 159

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 84 by 159, we get 0 with a remainder of 84.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 26650.0
The remainder is 84 after subtracting 0 from 84.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 84, then repeat: 842 / 159

Advancing to step 8:
159 can be fit into 842 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 266505.0
Subtract 795 from 842 to get 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
159 can be fit into 470 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 152.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 266505.2
The remainder is 152 after subtracting 318 from 470.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1520, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 1520 by 159, we get 9 and a remainder of 89.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 266505.29
Subtracting 1431 from 1520 leaves us with 89.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 890, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 159 fits into 890 5 times, leaving a remainder of 95.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 266505.295
Subtracting 795 from 890 leaves us with 95.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 950, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 950 by 159, we get 5 and a remainder of 155.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 266505.2955
The remainder is 155 after subtracting 795 from 950.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1550, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 266505.2955 with a balance of 0.00155.
