Let's divide 183223 by 42
We want to divide 183223 by 42.

On to step 1:
42 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 18 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 18 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 0 from 18.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 183 / 42

On to step 3:
183 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 15.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 168 from 183, we get 15.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 152 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
42 can be fit into 152 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 43.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 126 from 152.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 262 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
42 goes into 262 6 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 436.0
Subtracting 252 from 262 leaves us with 10.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 103 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
42 can be fit into 103 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 4362.0
Subtract 84 from 103 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 190 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4362.4
Deduct 168 from 190 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
42 can be fit into 220 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4362.45
If we subtract 210 from 220, we get 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 9:
When dividing 100 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 4362.452
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 84 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
160 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4362.4523
Subtracting 126 from 160 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 11:
42 can be fit into 340 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4362.45238
Subtracting 336 from 340 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 12:
40 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4362.45238
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.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 400 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4362.4523809
If we take 378 away from 400, we end up with 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 14:
The number 42 fits into 220 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4362.45238095
Subtract 210 from 220 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 4362.45238095, with a leftover of 1e-08.
