We divide 184256 by 42
We want to divide 184256 by 42.

On to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 18 / 42

On to step 2:
42 can be fit into 18 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 18, we end up with 18.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 184 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
42 can be fit into 184 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 168 from 184.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 162 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
The number 42 fits into 162 3 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 43.0
If we take 126 away from 162, we end up with 36.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 365 / 42

On to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 365 8 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 438.0
If we take 336 away from 365, we end up with 29.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 296 / 42

Step 6:
296 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4387.0
If we take 294 away from 296, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 20 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 4387.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 200 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4387.04
Subtracting 168 from 200 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 320 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4387.047
If we take 294 away from 320, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
42 goes into 260 6 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4387.0476
If we take 252 away from 260, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 42 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4387.04761
Deduct 42 from 80 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 380 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4387.047619
If we subtract 378 from 380, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
20 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4387.047619
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
42 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4387.04761904
Subtract 168 from 200 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 4387.04761904 and a remainder of 3.2e-08.
