We look at the division of 867213 by 42 
We want to figure out the number of times 867213 can be divided by 42.

Going ahead to step 1:
42 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 86 / 42

Step 2:
42 goes into 86 2 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 84 from 86.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 27 0 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20.0
Deduct 0 from 27 and we're left with 27.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 272 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
42 can be fit into 272 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 206.0
Subtract 252 from 272 to get 20.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 201 / 42

On to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 201 4 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2064.0
Subtracting 168 from 201 leaves us with 33.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 33 and continue: 333 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
42 can be fit into 333 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20647.0
Deduct 294 from 333 and we're left with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
42 can be fit into 390 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20647.9
If we take 378 away from 390, we end up with 12.
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 8:
42 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20647.92
Deduct 84 from 120 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 9:
42 can be fit into 360 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20647.928
If we subtract 336 from 360, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
42 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20647.9285
If we take 210 away from 240, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 11:
42 goes into 300 7 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20647.92857
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.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 60 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20647.928571
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.

On to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 180 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20647.9285714
If we take 168 away from 180, we end up with 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 14:
If we divide 120 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 36.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20647.92857142
Subtracting 84 from 120 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 20647.92857142 with a balance of 3.6e-08.
