241858 ÷ 42 
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 241858.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 24 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 24 0 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 24, we get 24.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 241 / 42

Step 3:
42 can be fit into 241 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 210 from 241, we get 31.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 318 / 42

Step 4:
When dividing 318 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 24.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 57.0
Subtract 294 from 318 to get 24.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 245 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 245 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 35.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 575.0
Subtracting 210 from 245 leaves us with 35.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 35 and continue: 358 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 358 8 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5758.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 336 from 358.
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:
When dividing 220 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5758.5
Deduct 210 from 220 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 100 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5758.52
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 160 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5758.523
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.

Advancing to step 10:
42 can be fit into 340 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5758.5238
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.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 42 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5758.5238
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
400 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5758.523809
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:
220 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5758.5238095
If we take 210 away from 220, we end up 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 14:
When dividing 100 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5758.52380952
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.

The final outcome is 5758.52380952, with a leftover of 1.6e-08.
