We're dividing 229740 by 42 
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 229740.

Step 1:
If we divide 2 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 22 / 42

Step 2:
The number 42 fits into 22 0 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 22, we end up with 22.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 229 / 42

On to step 3:
42 can be fit into 229 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 210 from 229, we get 19.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 197 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
42 can be fit into 197 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 54.0
If we take 168 away from 197, we end up with 29.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 294 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 294 7 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 547.0
Subtract 294 from 294 to get 0.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 0 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
42 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5470.0
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
42 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5470.0
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 42 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5470.0
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Our division results in 5470.0 with a remaining 0.0.
