We look at the division of 100372 by 42 
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 100372.

Step 1:
42 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 10 / 42

Step 2:
The number 42 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 100 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
42 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 84 from 100, we get 16.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 163 / 42

On to step 4:
When dividing 163 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 37.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23.0
If we take 126 away from 163, we end up with 37.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 37, then repeat: 377 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
377 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 41.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 238.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 336 from 377.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 41, then carry on: 412 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 412 9 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2389.0
If we subtract 378 from 412, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
42 goes into 340 8 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2389.8
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.

Step 8:
40 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2389.8
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 42 fits into 400 9 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2389.809
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 378 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 42 fits into 220 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2389.8095
Subtracting 210 from 220 leaves us 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.

On to step 11:
100 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2389.80952
If we take 84 away from 100, 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 12:
If we divide 160 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2389.809523
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.

Advancing to step 13:
340 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2389.8095238
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.

On to step 14:
42 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2389.8095238
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 2389.8095238 with a balance of 4e-08.
