The number 42 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 84 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
42 can be fit into 84 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 84 from 84 and we're left with 0.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 2 / 42

Step 3:
42 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 22 / 42

On to step 4:
When dividing 22 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 22.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 200.0
Subtracting 0 from 22 leaves us with 22.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 228 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 228 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 18.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2005.0
Subtract 210 from 228 to get 18.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 189 / 42

Step 6:
When dividing 189 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 21.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20054.0
Deduct 168 from 189 and we're left with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 210 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20054.5
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 210 from 210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 42 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20054.5
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 0 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 20054.5
Subtract 0 from 0 to 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 20054.5 with a balance of 0.0.
