Let's divide 235894 by 42
We want to figure out the number of times 235894 can be divided by 42.

Moving on to step 1:
42 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 23 / 42

Advancing 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 subtract 0 from 23, we get 23.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 235 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 235 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 210 from 235.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 258 / 42

Step 4:
When dividing 258 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 56.0
Deduct 252 from 258 and we're left with 6.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 69 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
42 goes into 69 1 times with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 561.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 42 from 69.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 274 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 274 6 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5616.0
If we take 252 away from 274, 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.

Step 7:
42 goes into 220 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5616.5
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 8:
100 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5616.52
Subtract 84 from 100 to get 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 9:
160 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 34.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5616.523
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 126 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
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: 5616.5238
Deduct 336 from 340 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 42 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5616.5238
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us 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.

Step 12:
When dividing 400 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5616.523809
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.

Step 13:
When dividing 220 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5616.5238095
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
42 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5616.52380952
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.

Our division results in 5616.52380952 with a remaining 1.6e-08.
