We're dividing 42981071 by 136 
We want to divide 42981071 by 136.

Going ahead to step 1:
136 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 42 / 136

On to step 2:
136 goes into 42 0 times with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 42, we end up with 42.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 429 / 136

Step 3:
136 goes into 429 3 times with a remainder of 21.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 408 from 429 and we're left with 21.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 218 / 136

Step 4:
136 can be fit into 218 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 82.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 31.0
Deduct 136 from 218 and we're left with 82.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 82, then repeat: 821 / 136

Step 5:
136 can be fit into 821 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 316.0
Deduct 816 from 821 and we're left with 5.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 50 / 136

Going ahead to step 6:
50 divided by 136 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3160.0
Subtract 0 from 50 to get 50.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 50 and continue: 507 / 136

On to step 7:
136 goes into 507 3 times with a remainder of 99.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31603.0
Subtract 408 from 507 to get 99.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 99, then carry on: 991 / 136

Going ahead to step 8:
991 divided by 136 is 7 with a remainder of 39.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 316037.0
Subtract 952 from 991 to get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 390 by 136, we get 2 and a remainder of 118.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 316037.2
Deduct 272 from 390 and we're left with 118.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1180, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 1180 by 136, we get 8 with a remainder of 92.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 316037.28
If we take 1088 away from 1180, we end up with 92.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 920, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 920 by 136, we get 6 and a remainder of 104.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 316037.286
Subtract 816 from 920 to get 104.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1040, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 1040 by 136, we get 7 with a remainder of 88.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 316037.2867
If we subtract 952 from 1040, we get 88.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
136 can be fit into 880 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 316037.28676
Deduct 816 from 880 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
136 goes into 640 4 times with a remainder of 96.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 316037.286764
Subtracting 544 from 640 leaves us with 96.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
136 can be fit into 960 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 316037.2867647
Subtract 952 from 960 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
136 goes into 80 0 times with a remainder of 80.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 316037.2867647
If we take 0 away from 80, we end up with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 316037.2867647 and a remainder of 8e-08.
