We're dividing 107706 by 42 
We want to divide 107706 by 42.

Going ahead to step 1:
42 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 10 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 10 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 107 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 107 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 84 from 107.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 237 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 237 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 27.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25.0
If we subtract 210 from 237, we get 27.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 270 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
270 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 18.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 256.0
Subtracting 252 from 270 leaves us with 18.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 186 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
42 goes into 186 4 times with a remainder of 18.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2564.0
Deduct 168 from 186 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
180 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2564.4
Deduct 168 from 180 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 8:
42 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2564.42
If we take 84 away from 120, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
42 can be fit into 360 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2564.428
Subtracting 336 from 360 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
42 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2564.4285
Deduct 210 from 240 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 300 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 6.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2564.42857
Subtracting 294 from 300 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
60 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 18.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2564.428571
Subtracting 42 from 60 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 42 fits into 180 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2564.4285714
If we take 168 away from 180, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
42 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2564.42857142
If we subtract 84 from 120, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 2564.42857142, and the remainder is 3.6e-08.
