Let's divide 791368 by 42
We want to divide 791368 by 42.

Advancing to step 1:
7 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 79 / 42

Step 2:
42 goes into 79 1 times with a remainder of 37.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 42 from 79 leaves us with 37.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 371 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 371 8 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtract 336 from 371 to get 35.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 35, then repeat: 353 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 42 fits into 353 8 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 188.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 336 from 353.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 176 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 176 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1884.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 168 from 176.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 88 / 42

Step 6:
When dividing 88 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18842.0
If we take 84 away from 88, 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.

Advancing to step 7:
42 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18842.0
Subtract 0 from 40 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
42 goes into 400 9 times with a remainder of 22.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18842.09
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.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 220 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18842.095
If we take 210 away from 220, we end up 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 10:
100 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 18842.0952
Subtract 84 from 100 to get 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 11:
When dividing 160 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18842.09523
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.

On to step 12:
42 goes into 340 8 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18842.095238
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 13:
The number 42 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18842.095238
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.

Moving on to step 14:
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: 18842.09523809
If we subtract 378 from 400, we 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.

Our division results in 18842.09523809 with a remaining 2.2e-08.
