Let's divide 788233 by 42
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 788233.

Let's proceed to step 1:
42 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 78 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 78 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 36.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 42 away from 78, we end up with 36.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 36, then repeat: 368 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 368 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 336 from 368.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 32 and continue: 322 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 322 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 28.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 187.0
Deduct 294 from 322 and we're left with 28.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 283 / 42

Step 5:
When dividing 283 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 31.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1876.0
If we take 252 away from 283, we end up with 31.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 313 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
42 goes into 313 7 times with a remainder of 19.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18767.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 294 from 313.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
190 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 22.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18767.4
Subtracting 168 from 190 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
42 goes into 220 5 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 18767.45
Subtracting 210 from 220 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 100 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18767.452
Subtract 84 from 100 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
160 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18767.4523
Subtract 126 from 160 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
340 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18767.45238
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 336 from 340.
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 12:
If we divide 40 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18767.45238
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
400 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18767.4523809
If we subtract 378 from 400, we 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.

On to step 14:
If we divide 220 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18767.45238095
Subtract 210 from 220 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 18767.45238095 and a remainder of 1e-08.
