We're dividing 214525 by 42 
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 214525.

Moving on to step 1:
2 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 21 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
42 goes into 21 0 times with a remainder of 21.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 21 and we're left with 21.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 214 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 214 5 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 210 from 214 to get 4.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 45 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 45 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 3.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 51.0
Subtract 42 from 45 to get 3.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 32 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
42 can be fit into 32 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 510.0
Deduct 0 from 32 and we're left with 32.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 32, then carry on: 325 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
42 goes into 325 7 times with a remainder of 31.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5107.0
Subtract 294 from 325 to get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 310 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5107.7
Subtracting 294 from 310 leaves us 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.

On to step 8:
When dividing 160 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5107.73
If we take 126 away from 160, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 340 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5107.738
Subtract 336 from 340 to get 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:
The number 42 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5107.738
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 400 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 22.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5107.73809
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 42 fits into 220 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5107.738095
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 210 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
100 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5107.7380952
Subtracting 84 from 100 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 160 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 34.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5107.73809523
If we take 126 away from 160, we end up 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.

After the division, we end up with 5107.73809523 and a remainder of 3.4e-08.
