We divide 87466 by 42
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 87466.

On to step 1:
8 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 87 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
42 can be fit into 87 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 84 from 87, we get 3.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 34 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 34 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 34.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20.0
If we take 0 away from 34, we end up with 34.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 346 / 42

Step 4:
The number 42 fits into 346 8 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 208.0
Deduct 336 from 346 and we're left with 10.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 106 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
42 can be fit into 106 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2082.0
Subtracting 84 from 106 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 220 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2082.5
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.

Step 7:
42 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2082.52
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.

On to step 8:
The number 42 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2082.523
If we subtract 126 from 160, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 340 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2082.5238
If we take 336 away from 340, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 40 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2082.5238
Subtract 0 from 40 to 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.

Step 11:
42 can be fit into 400 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2082.523809
If we take 378 away from 400, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
42 goes into 220 5 times with a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2082.5238095
Subtract 210 from 220 to get 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 13:
42 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2082.52380952
Subtracting 84 from 100 leaves us 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.

The final result is 2082.52380952 with a remainder of 1.6e-08.
