Let's divide 423266 by 42
Our goal is to divide 423266 by 42.

Going ahead to step 1:
4 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 42 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
42 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 42 from 42 and we're left with 0.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 3 / 42

Step 3:
The number 42 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 32 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
32 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 32.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 100.0
Deduct 0 from 32 and we're left with 32.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 32, then carry on: 326 / 42

On to step 5:
When dividing 326 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 32.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1007.0
Subtracting 294 from 326 leaves us with 32.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 32 and continue: 326 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
326 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 10077.0
Deduct 294 from 326 and we're left 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 7:
When dividing 320 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10077.7
Subtracting 294 from 320 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.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 260 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10077.76
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.

Moving on to step 9:
42 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 38.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10077.761
If we take 42 away from 80, we end up 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.

Step 10:
If we divide 380 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10077.7619
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.

On to step 11:
When dividing 20 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10077.7619
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 42 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10077.761904
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.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 320 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10077.7619047
If we take 294 away from 320, we end up 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 14:
260 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10077.76190476
Deduct 252 from 260 and we're left with 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 quotient of the division is 10077.76190476, and the remainder is 8e-09.
