144048 divided by 42 
We want to figure out the number of times 144048 can be divided by 42.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 14 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 14 0 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 14 and we're left with 14.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 144 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
42 can be fit into 144 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 126 from 144 leaves us with 18.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 180 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
42 can be fit into 180 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 34.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 168 from 180.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 124 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 124 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 40.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 342.0
Subtract 84 from 124 to get 40.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 408 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
408 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 30.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3429.0
If we subtract 378 from 408, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
300 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3429.7
If we subtract 294 from 300, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
60 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3429.71
Deduct 42 from 60 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.

On to step 9:
42 goes into 180 4 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3429.714
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 168 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
42 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 36.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3429.7142
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.

On to step 11:
If we divide 360 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3429.71428
If we take 336 away from 360, we end up 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.

Step 12:
42 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3429.714285
If we subtract 210 from 240, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
42 goes into 300 7 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3429.7142857
If we subtract 294 from 300, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 14:
42 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3429.71428571
Deduct 42 from 60 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.

After the division, we end up with 3429.71428571 and a remainder of 1.8e-08.
