65888 divided by 42 
We want to divide 65888 by 42.

Moving on to step 1:
42 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 65 / 42

On to step 2:
When dividing 65 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 42 from 65 leaves us with 23.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 238 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
42 can be fit into 238 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Deduct 210 from 238 and we're left with 28.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 288 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 42 fits into 288 6 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 156.0
Deduct 252 from 288 and we're left with 36.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 36, then carry on: 368 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
42 goes into 368 8 times with a remainder of 32.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1568.0
If we subtract 336 from 368, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 320 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1568.7
Deduct 294 from 320 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 260 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1568.76
Subtracting 252 from 260 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
42 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 38.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1568.761
If we take 42 away from 80, we end up 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.

Step 9:
When dividing 380 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 2.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1568.7619
Deduct 378 from 380 and we're left 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 10:
If we divide 20 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1568.7619
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 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 11:
42 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1568.761904
If we subtract 168 from 200, we 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.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 320 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 26.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1568.7619047
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
42 can be fit into 260 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1568.76190476
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.

Our division results in 1568.76190476 with a remaining 8e-09.
