868362 ÷ 42 
We want to divide 868362 by 42.

Step 1:
42 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in 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.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 86 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 86 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 2.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 84 from 86, we get 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
42 goes into 28 0 times with a remainder of 28.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20.0
Deduct 0 from 28 and we're left with 28.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 283 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 42 fits into 283 6 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 206.0
If we subtract 252 from 283, we get 31.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 316 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
42 goes into 316 7 times with a remainder of 22.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2067.0
Deduct 294 from 316 and we're left with 22.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 222 / 42

Step 6:
The number 42 fits into 222 5 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20675.0
Deduct 210 from 222 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 120 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20675.2
Subtract 84 from 120 to 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 42 fits into 360 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20675.28
Subtracting 336 from 360 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
42 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20675.285
Subtract 210 from 240 to 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.

Moving on to step 10:
42 can be fit into 300 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20675.2857
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.

On to step 11:
60 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20675.28571
Subtract 42 from 60 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 42 fits into 180 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20675.285714
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
120 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20675.2857142
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 84 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 14:
360 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 20675.28571428
If we subtract 336 from 360, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 20675.28571428 with a balance of 2.4e-08.
