Let's divide 118303 by 42
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 118303.

Moving on to step 1:
1 divided by 42 is 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 (1) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 11 / 42

Step 2:
The number 42 fits into 11 0 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 11, we end up with 11.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 118 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
118 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 34.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 84 away from 118, we end up with 34.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 34, then repeat: 343 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 343 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 7.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 28.0
Subtracting 336 from 343 leaves us with 7.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 70 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 70 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 28.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 281.0
Subtract 42 from 70 to get 28.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 283 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
283 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 31.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2816.0
Subtract 252 from 283 to get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 310 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 16.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2816.7
If we take 294 away from 310, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
160 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2816.73
Deduct 126 from 160 and we're left 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 9:
When dividing 340 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2816.738
If we subtract 336 from 340, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
40 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2816.738
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up 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.

On to step 11:
400 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 22.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2816.73809
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.

On to step 12:
If we divide 220 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2816.738095
Deduct 210 from 220 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2816.7380952
Deduct 84 from 100 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
42 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2816.73809523
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 126 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2816.73809523 with a remaining 3.4e-08.
