Let's divide 239998 by 42
We want to figure out the number of times 239998 can be divided by 42.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 23 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 23 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 23.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 23, we end up with 23.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 239 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
42 goes into 239 5 times with a remainder of 29.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 210 from 239 leaves us with 29.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 299 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
42 can be fit into 299 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 57.0
Deduct 294 from 299 and we're left with 5.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 59 / 42

Step 5:
When dividing 59 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 571.0
Subtract 42 from 59 to get 17.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 178 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 178 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 10.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5714.0
Subtracting 168 from 178 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 100 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5714.2
Deduct 84 from 100 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
42 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5714.23
Deduct 126 from 160 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
340 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5714.238
Subtract 336 from 340 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 40 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5714.238
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 400 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 22.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5714.23809
Subtract 378 from 400 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 220 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5714.238095
Subtracting 210 from 220 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 100 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5714.2380952
Subtracting 84 from 100 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 160 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 34.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5714.23809523
Subtract 126 from 160 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 5714.23809523, with a leftover of 3.4e-08.
