We divide 158234 by 42
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 158234.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 15 / 42

Step 2:
When dividing 15 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 15, we end up with 15.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 158 / 42

On to step 3:
158 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 126 from 158 and we're left with 32.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 32 and repeat the process: 322 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
42 goes into 322 7 times with a remainder of 28.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 37.0
If we take 294 away from 322, we end up with 28.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 283 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
42 can be fit into 283 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 376.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 252 from 283.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 314 / 42

On to step 6:
42 can be fit into 314 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3767.0
Deduct 294 from 314 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
42 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3767.4
Subtract 168 from 200 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
320 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3767.47
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
42 goes into 260 6 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3767.476
Deduct 252 from 260 and we're left 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.

On to step 10:
80 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3767.4761
If we subtract 42 from 80, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 42 fits into 380 9 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3767.47619
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.

Advancing to step 12:
42 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3767.47619
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left 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 13:
If we divide 200 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3767.4761904
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 42 fits into 320 7 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3767.47619047
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.

The final outcome is 3767.47619047, with a leftover of 2.6e-08.
