We're dividing 239844 by 42 
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 239844.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 23 / 42

Step 2:
The number 42 fits into 23 0 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 23, we end up with 23.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 239 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
42 can be fit into 239 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 210 from 239.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 298 / 42

On to step 4:
If we divide 298 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 57.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 294 from 298.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 44 / 42

Step 5:
42 goes into 44 1 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 571.0
If we take 42 away from 44, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 24 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
42 goes into 24 0 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5710.0
Subtracting 0 from 24 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 240 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5710.5
If we take 210 away from 240, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
300 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 6.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5710.57
Deduct 294 from 300 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 60 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 18.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5710.571
Subtracting 42 from 60 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 180 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5710.5714
Subtracting 168 from 180 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
120 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5710.57142
If we take 84 away from 120, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
42 goes into 360 8 times with a remainder of 24.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5710.571428
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 336 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
240 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5710.5714285
Deduct 210 from 240 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 300 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5710.57142857
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 294 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 5710.57142857 with a balance of 6e-09.
