Let's divide 248104 by 42
Our goal is to divide 248104 by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 24 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 24 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 24.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 24 leaves us with 24.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 248 / 42

On to step 3:
248 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 210 from 248 to get 38.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 38, then repeat: 381 / 42

Step 4:
If we divide 381 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 3.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 59.0
Subtract 378 from 381 to get 3.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 30 / 42

Step 5:
42 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 590.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 0 from 30.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 30, then repeat: 304 / 42

Step 6:
42 goes into 304 7 times with a remainder of 10.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5907.0
Subtracting 294 from 304 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
42 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5907.2
If we take 84 away from 100, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
42 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5907.23
Subtracting 126 from 160 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
42 can be fit into 340 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5907.238
If we take 336 away from 340, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
42 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5907.238
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 400 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 22.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5907.23809
Subtract 378 from 400 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 42 fits into 220 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5907.238095
Deduct 210 from 220 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 100 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5907.2380952
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 84 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
42 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 34.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5907.23809523
Subtract 126 from 160 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 5907.23809523, and the remainder is 3.4e-08.
