We divide 237707 by 42
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 237707.

Going ahead to 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
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 23 / 42

On to step 2:
23 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 23 and we're left with 23.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 237 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 237 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 27.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 210 away from 237, we end up with 27.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 277 / 42

Step 4:
277 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 25.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 56.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 252 from 277.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 250 / 42

On to step 5:
When dividing 250 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 565.0
If we take 210 away from 250, we end up with 40.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 407 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
42 goes into 407 9 times with a remainder of 29.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5659.0
If we take 378 away from 407, we end up with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Step 7:
42 can be fit into 290 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5659.6
If we take 252 away from 290, we end up with 38.
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 8:
42 can be fit into 380 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5659.69
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 378 from 380.
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 9:
If we divide 20 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5659.69
If we take 0 away from 20, 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.

Advancing to step 10:
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: 5659.6904
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 320 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 26.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5659.69047
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 260 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5659.690476
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
42 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5659.6904761
Deduct 42 from 80 and we're left with 38.
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 14:
If we divide 380 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5659.69047619
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 378 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

The final result is 5659.69047619 with a remainder of 2e-09.
