162357 ÷ 42 
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 162357.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 16 / 42

On to step 2:
16 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 16, we end up with 16.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 162 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 162 3 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 126 from 162 and we're left with 36.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 36 and continue with: 363 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 363 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 27.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 38.0
Subtract 336 from 363 to get 27.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 275 / 42

On to step 5:
275 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 386.0
If we subtract 252 from 275, we get 23.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 237 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 237 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 27.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3865.0
If we subtract 210 from 237, we get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 270 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 18.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3865.6
If we take 252 away from 270, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 180 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 12.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3865.64
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 168 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 120 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 36.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3865.642
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 84 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 42 fits into 360 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3865.6428
Subtracting 336 from 360 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 240 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3865.64285
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 210 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 300 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3865.642857
Deduct 294 from 300 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 60 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 18.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3865.6428571
If we subtract 42 from 60, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
42 goes into 180 4 times with a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3865.64285714
Subtract 168 from 180 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3865.64285714 and a remainder of 1.2e-08.
