Let's divide 57231707 by 42
We want to figure out the number of times 57231707 can be divided by 42.

Going ahead to step 1:
5 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 57 / 42

On to step 2:
When dividing 57 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 15.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 42 away from 57, we end up with 15.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 152 / 42

On to step 3:
When dividing 152 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 26.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we take 126 away from 152, we end up with 26.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 263 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
42 can be fit into 263 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 136.0
If we subtract 252 from 263, we get 11.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 111 / 42

Step 5:
42 goes into 111 2 times with a remainder of 27.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1362.0
If we subtract 84 from 111, we get 27.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 277 / 42

On to step 6:
277 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13626.0
Subtracting 252 from 277 leaves us with 25.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 250 / 42

Going ahead to step 7:
250 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 136265.0
Subtract 210 from 250 to get 40.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 407 / 42

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 407 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 29.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1362659.0
Deduct 378 from 407 and we're left with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
42 can be fit into 290 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1362659.6
Subtracting 252 from 290 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
42 goes into 380 9 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1362659.69
If we take 378 away from 380, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
42 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1362659.69
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.

Advancing to step 12:
200 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1362659.6904
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
42 goes into 320 7 times with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1362659.69047
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 14:
42 goes into 260 6 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1362659.690476
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 15:
The number 42 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1362659.6904761
Deduct 42 from 80 and we're left 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 16:
42 goes into 380 9 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1362659.69047619
If we take 378 away from 380, we end up 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.

After the division, we end up with 1362659.69047619 and a remainder of 2e-09.
