Let's divide 367240 by 42
We want to divide 367240 by 42.

Moving on to step 1:
42 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 36 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 36 0 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 36, we end up with 36.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 367 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 367 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 31.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 336 from 367, we get 31.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 312 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
42 goes into 312 7 times with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 87.0
Subtracting 294 from 312 leaves us with 18.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 184 / 42

On to step 5:
If we divide 184 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 874.0
Deduct 168 from 184 and we're left with 16.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 160 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
160 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8743.0
If we take 126 away from 160, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 340 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8743.8
If we take 336 away from 340, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 42 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 8743.8
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 400 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 22.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8743.809
Subtracting 378 from 400 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 10:
220 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8743.8095
If we subtract 210 from 220, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 42 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8743.80952
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
42 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 8743.809523
If we take 126 away from 160, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 340 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8743.8095238
Subtracting 336 from 340 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
42 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8743.8095238
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The final result is 8743.8095238 with a remainder of 4e-08.
