We look at the division of 123083 by 42 
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 123083.

Step 1:
42 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 12 / 42

Step 2:
42 goes into 12 0 times with a remainder of 12.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 12, we get 12.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 123 / 42

Step 3:
123 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 39.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 84 from 123 and we're left with 39.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 39, then repeat: 390 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 390 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 12.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 29.0
Deduct 378 from 390 and we're left with 12.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 128 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 128 3 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 293.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 126 from 128.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 23 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
23 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 23.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2930.0
If we take 0 away from 23, we end up with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Step 7:
42 goes into 230 5 times with a remainder of 20.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2930.5
Subtract 210 from 230 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.

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: 2930.54
If we take 168 away from 200, we end up 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.

Step 9:
42 can be fit into 320 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2930.547
Subtracting 294 from 320 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
42 can be fit into 260 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2930.5476
If we subtract 252 from 260, we get 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 11:
42 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 38.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2930.54761
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 42 from 80.
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:
42 goes into 380 9 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2930.547619
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 13:
20 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2930.547619
If we subtract 0 from 20, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
200 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2930.54761904
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 168 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2930.54761904 with a balance of 3.2e-08.
