86277 ÷ 42 
We want to divide 86277 by 42.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 86 / 42

On to step 2:
If we divide 86 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 84 from 86 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 22 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 22 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 22.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20.0
If we take 0 away from 22, we end up with 22.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 227 / 42

Step 4:
42 goes into 227 5 times with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 205.0
Subtracting 210 from 227 leaves us with 17.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 177 / 42

On to step 5:
If we divide 177 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2054.0
If we take 168 away from 177, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
42 goes into 90 2 times with a remainder of 6.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2054.2
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 84 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
60 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 18.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2054.21
If we take 42 away from 60, 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.

Step 8:
If we divide 180 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2054.214
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
42 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 36.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2054.2142
Subtract 84 from 120 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
360 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2054.21428
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 336 from 360.
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:
42 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2054.214285
Deduct 210 from 240 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 300 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2054.2142857
Subtracting 294 from 300 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 60 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 18.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2054.21428571
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.

The quotient of the division is 2054.21428571, and the remainder is 1.8e-08.
