Let's divide 228854 by 42
We want to figure out the number of times 228854 can be divided by 42.

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
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 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.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 0 from 22.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 228 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 228 5 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 210 from 228 to get 18.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 188 / 42

Step 4:
When dividing 188 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 20.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 54.0
Deduct 168 from 188 and we're left with 20.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 205 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 205 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 37.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 544.0
Deduct 168 from 205 and we're left with 37.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 374 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 374 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 38.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5448.0
Deduct 336 from 374 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.

Step 7:
The number 42 fits into 380 9 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5448.9
Subtract 378 from 380 to 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.

Step 8:
42 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5448.9
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 9:
When dividing 200 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5448.904
If we subtract 168 from 200, we 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.

Step 10:
320 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5448.9047
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 294 from 320.
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 11:
The number 42 fits into 260 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5448.90476
Subtracting 252 from 260 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 80 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 38.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5448.904761
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.

Advancing to step 13:
42 goes into 380 9 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5448.9047619
Subtract 378 from 380 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 20 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5448.9047619
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us 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.

The final outcome is 5448.9047619, with a leftover of 2e-08.
