We divide 31002647 by 42
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 31002647.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 31 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 31 0 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 31 leaves us with 31.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 310 / 42

Step 3:
42 can be fit into 310 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 294 away from 310, we end up with 16.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 160 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 42 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 73.0
Subtracting 126 from 160 leaves us with 34.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 34, then repeat: 342 / 42

Step 5:
42 goes into 342 8 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 738.0
If we subtract 336 from 342, we get 6.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 66 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 66 1 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 7381.0
Subtract 42 from 66 to get 24.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 244 / 42

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 244 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 34.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 73815.0
If we take 210 away from 244, we end up with 34.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 347 / 42

Advancing to step 8:
42 can be fit into 347 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 738158.0
If we take 336 away from 347, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
110 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 738158.2
Subtracting 84 from 110 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 260 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 738158.26
If we subtract 252 from 260, we 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 11:
The number 42 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 738158.261
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 42 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 42 fits into 380 9 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 738158.2619
Subtract 378 from 380 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 20 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 738158.2619
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
42 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 738158.261904
If we take 168 away from 200, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
42 can be fit into 320 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 738158.2619047
Deduct 294 from 320 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
260 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 738158.26190476
If we subtract 252 from 260, we 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.

The final result is 738158.26190476 with a remainder of 8e-09.
