87386 divided by 42 
Our goal is to divide 87386 by 42.

Going ahead to step 1:
8 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 87 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 87 2 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 84 from 87 to get 3.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 33 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 33 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 33.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20.0
If we take 0 away from 33, we end up with 33.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 33 and repeat the process: 338 / 42

Step 4:
The number 42 fits into 338 8 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 208.0
Subtracting 336 from 338 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 26 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
42 goes into 26 0 times with a remainder of 26.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2080.0
Deduct 0 from 26 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.

Moving on to step 6:
260 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2080.6
If we take 252 away from 260, we end up 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.

On to step 7:
42 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2080.61
Subtracting 42 from 80 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 8:
42 can be fit into 380 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2080.619
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 378 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 9:
42 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2080.619
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 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 10:
42 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2080.61904
Subtracting 168 from 200 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
320 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 26.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2080.619047
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
260 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2080.6190476
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.

On to step 13:
42 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2080.61904761
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.

After the division, we end up with 2080.61904761 and a remainder of 3.8e-08.
