Let's divide 233868 by 42
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 233868.

Step 1:
When dividing 2 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 23 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
23 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 23.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 23, we end up with 23.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 233 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
42 can be fit into 233 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 210 from 233 and we're left with 23.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 238 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 238 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 28.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 55.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 210 from 238.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 286 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 286 6 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 556.0
Subtract 252 from 286 to get 34.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 348 / 42

Step 6:
When dividing 348 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5568.0
Subtract 336 from 348 to get 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 7:
When dividing 120 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 36.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5568.2
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
42 goes into 360 8 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5568.28
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 9:
240 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5568.285
Subtracting 210 from 240 leaves us 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.

On to step 10:
When dividing 300 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5568.2857
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
60 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5568.28571
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 12:
When dividing 180 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5568.285714
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.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5568.2857142
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.

Step 14:
42 can be fit into 360 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5568.28571428
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 336 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5568.28571428 and a remainder of 2.4e-08.
