We look at the division of 85706 by 42 
We want to divide 85706 by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
8 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 85 / 42

Step 2:
The number 42 fits into 85 2 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 84 from 85, we get 1.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 42

On to step 3:
42 can be fit into 17 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20.0
Subtract 0 from 17 to get 17.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 170 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
42 can be fit into 170 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 204.0
If we subtract 168 from 170, we get 2.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 26 / 42

Step 5:
The number 42 fits into 26 0 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2040.0
Subtract 0 from 26 to 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.

Going ahead to step 6:
42 goes into 260 6 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2040.6
Subtracting 252 from 260 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2040.61
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.

On to step 8:
If we divide 380 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2040.619
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.

On to step 9:
20 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2040.619
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us 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.

Step 10:
The number 42 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2040.61904
Subtracting 168 from 200 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 42 fits into 320 7 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2040.619047
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.

Advancing to step 12:
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: 2040.6190476
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.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2040.61904761
If we subtract 42 from 80, we 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 2040.61904761 with a balance of 3.8e-08.
