Let's divide 248113 by 42
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 248113.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 24 / 42

Step 2:
When dividing 24 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 24.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 24 and we're left with 24.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 248 / 42

On to step 3:
When dividing 248 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 210 away from 248, we end up with 38.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 38, then repeat: 381 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
The number 42 fits into 381 9 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 59.0
Subtracting 378 from 381 leaves us with 3.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 31 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
31 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 590.0
Subtract 0 from 31 to get 31.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 313 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 313 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 19.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5907.0
Subtract 294 from 313 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.

Step 7:
The number 42 fits into 190 4 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5907.4
If we subtract 168 from 190, we 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.

Advancing to step 8:
42 goes into 220 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5907.45
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 9:
100 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5907.452
If we take 84 away from 100, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 10:
42 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 34.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5907.4523
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 11:
42 goes into 340 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5907.45238
Subtract 336 from 340 to get 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 12:
The number 42 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5907.45238
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
42 goes into 400 9 times with a remainder of 22.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5907.4523809
If we subtract 378 from 400, we 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.

Advancing to step 14:
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: 5907.45238095
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.

The final result is 5907.45238095 with a remainder of 1e-08.
