233856 ÷ 42 
We want to divide 233856 by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
42 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 23 / 42

On to step 2:
23 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 23.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 23 leaves us with 23.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 233 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 233 5 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 210 away from 233, we end up with 23.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 238 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
42 can be fit into 238 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 55.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 210 from 238.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 285 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 285 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 556.0
If we subtract 252 from 285, we get 33.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 33, then repeat: 336 / 42

On to step 6:
42 can be fit into 336 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5568.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 336 from 336.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
42 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5568.0
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
42 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5568.0
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.

The final result is 5568.0 with a remainder of 0.0.
