We divide 86270687 by 42
Our goal is to divide 86270687 by 42.

Step 1:
The number 42 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 86 / 42

Step 2:
42 can be fit into 86 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 84 from 86.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 22 / 42

On to step 3:
When dividing 22 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 20.0
Deduct 0 from 22 and we're left with 22.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 227 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
42 goes into 227 5 times with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 205.0
Deduct 210 from 227 and we're left with 17.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 170 / 42

On to step 5:
When dividing 170 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2054.0
If we subtract 168 from 170, we get 2.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 26 / 42

On to step 6:
26 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 26.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20540.0
If we subtract 0 from 26, we get 26.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 268 / 42

Advancing to step 7:
42 can be fit into 268 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 205406.0
Deduct 252 from 268 and we're left with 16.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 167 / 42

On to step 8:
42 goes into 167 3 times with a remainder of 41.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2054063.0
Subtract 126 from 167 to get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
410 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2054063.9
Subtract 378 from 410 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
42 goes into 320 7 times with a remainder of 26.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2054063.97
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 11:
42 can be fit into 260 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2054063.976
Deduct 252 from 260 and we're left 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.

Step 12:
80 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 38.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2054063.9761
Subtract 42 from 80 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 380 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2054063.97619
Subtract 378 from 380 to 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.

Moving on to step 14:
42 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2054063.97619
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
200 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2054063.9761904
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 16:
If we divide 320 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2054063.97619047
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 294 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2054063.97619047 with a remaining 2.6e-08.
