231632 divided by 42 
We want to divide 231632 by 42.

On to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 23 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 23 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 23.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 23, we end up with 23.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 231 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
42 can be fit into 231 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 210 from 231 and we're left with 21.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 216 / 42

On to step 4:
When dividing 216 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 55.0
Subtract 210 from 216 to get 6.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 63 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 63 1 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 551.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 42 from 63.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 212 / 42

Step 6:
When dividing 212 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5515.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 210 from 212.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 7:
42 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5515.0
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
42 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5515.04
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 9:
42 goes into 320 7 times with a remainder of 26.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5515.047
Deduct 294 from 320 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 10:
42 can be fit into 260 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5515.0476
If we take 252 away from 260, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
42 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 38.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5515.04761
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:
42 goes into 380 9 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5515.047619
If we subtract 378 from 380, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 20 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5515.047619
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on 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: 5515.04761904
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 5515.04761904 with a balance of 3.2e-08.
