145847 ÷ 42 
Our goal is to divide 145847 by 42.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 14 0 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 14 to get 14.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 145 / 42

On to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 145 3 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 126 from 145 leaves us with 19.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 198 / 42

Step 4:
If we divide 198 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 30.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 34.0
Subtracting 168 from 198 leaves us with 30.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 304 / 42

Step 5:
42 can be fit into 304 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 347.0
Subtracting 294 from 304 leaves us with 10.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 107 / 42

Step 6:
The number 42 fits into 107 2 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3472.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 84 from 107.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Step 7:
42 goes into 230 5 times with a remainder of 20.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3472.5
If we take 210 away from 230, we end up 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 8:
When dividing 200 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3472.54
Deduct 168 from 200 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 320 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 26.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3472.547
Subtract 294 from 320 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.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 260 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3472.5476
If we subtract 252 from 260, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
42 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3472.54761
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 42 from 80.
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 12:
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: 3472.547619
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.

On to step 13:
42 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3472.547619
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
200 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3472.54761904
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.

Our division results in 3472.54761904 with a remaining 3.2e-08.
