We divide 373472 by 42
We want to divide 373472 by 42.

Advancing to step 1:
42 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 37 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
42 can be fit into 37 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 37 leaves us with 37.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 37, then repeat: 373 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
373 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 336 from 373, we get 37.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 37, then repeat: 374 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
42 can be fit into 374 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 88.0
Deduct 336 from 374 and we're left with 38.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 38 and continue: 387 / 42

On to step 5:
387 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 9.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 889.0
Deduct 378 from 387 and we're left with 9.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 92 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 92 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8892.0
If we take 84 away from 92, we end up 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.

On to step 7:
42 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 8892.1
Subtract 42 from 80 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
380 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8892.19
Deduct 378 from 380 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 20 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8892.19
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
42 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8892.1904
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 168 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 320 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 8892.19047
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 12:
42 goes into 260 6 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8892.190476
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 13:
If we divide 80 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 8892.1904761
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.

Step 14:
When dividing 380 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 2.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8892.19047619
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 8892.19047619 with a balance of 2e-09.
