We divide 187022 by 42
Our goal is to divide 187022 by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
42 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 18 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 18 0 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 18 and we're left with 18.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 187 / 42

On to step 3:
187 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 168 from 187 to get 19.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 19, then repeat: 190 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
190 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 44.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 168 from 190.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 222 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 222 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 12.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 445.0
Subtracting 210 from 222 leaves us with 12.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 122 / 42

On to step 6:
122 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 38.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4452.0
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 84 from 122.
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 7:
When dividing 380 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4452.9
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 378 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
42 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4452.9
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.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 200 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4452.904
If we subtract 168 from 200, we get 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 10:
320 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4452.9047
If we subtract 294 from 320, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
42 can be fit into 260 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4452.90476
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 252 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
80 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 38.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4452.904761
Subtracting 42 from 80 leaves us with 38.
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 13:
If we divide 380 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4452.9047619
Subtracting 378 from 380 leaves us with 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 14:
20 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4452.9047619
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 4452.9047619 with a balance of 2e-08.
