Let's divide 434484 by 42
We want to divide 434484 by 42.

Step 1:
If we divide 4 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 43 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
43 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 1.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 42 from 43 and we're left with 1.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 14 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
14 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 0 from 14.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 144 / 42

On to step 4:
When dividing 144 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 103.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 126 from 144.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 188 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 188 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1034.0
Subtracting 168 from 188 leaves us with 20.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 204 / 42

Step 6:
42 goes into 204 4 times with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 10344.0
If we take 168 away from 204, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
42 can be fit into 360 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10344.8
If we take 336 away from 360, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 42 fits into 240 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10344.85
If we subtract 210 from 240, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 9:
300 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 6.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10344.857
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 294 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 10:
42 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10344.8571
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 42 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 180 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10344.85714
If we subtract 168 from 180, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 120 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10344.857142
If we take 84 away from 120, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 360 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10344.8571428
Subtract 336 from 360 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 42 fits into 240 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10344.85714285
Subtracting 210 from 240 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 10344.85714285, and the remainder is 3e-08.
