184146 divided by 42 
Our goal is to divide 184146 by 42.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 18 / 42

On to step 2:
42 goes into 18 0 times with a remainder of 18.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 18 and we're left with 18.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 184 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 184 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 168 away from 184, we end up with 16.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 161 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
161 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 35.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 43.0
Subtract 126 from 161 to get 35.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 35 and repeat the process: 354 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 354 8 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 438.0
Deduct 336 from 354 and we're left with 18.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 186 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
42 goes into 186 4 times with a remainder of 18.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4384.0
Subtract 168 from 186 to get 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 7:
When dividing 180 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4384.4
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.

On to step 8:
The number 42 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4384.42
Deduct 84 from 120 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
42 goes into 360 8 times with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4384.428
Deduct 336 from 360 and we're left 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.

On to step 10:
If we divide 240 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4384.4285
If we take 210 away from 240, we end up 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: 4384.42857
Deduct 294 from 300 and we're left 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.

Step 12:
If we divide 60 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4384.428571
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 42 from 60.
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 13:
When dividing 180 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4384.4285714
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.

Step 14:
42 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4384.42857142
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 4384.42857142 with a balance of 3.6e-08.
