We divide 232768 by 42
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 232768.

Let's proceed to step 1:
42 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 23 / 42

Step 2:
The number 42 fits into 23 0 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 23 to get 23.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 232 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
232 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 22.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 210 from 232, we get 22.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 227 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 227 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 17.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 55.0
If we subtract 210 from 227, we get 17.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 176 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 176 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 554.0
Subtracting 168 from 176 leaves us with 8.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 88 / 42

On to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 88 2 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5542.0
Subtracting 84 from 88 leaves us 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.

On to step 7:
40 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5542.0
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 400 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 22.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5542.09
Subtracting 378 from 400 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
42 can be fit into 220 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5542.095
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.

Advancing to step 10:
100 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5542.0952
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 84 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 11:
42 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5542.09523
If we take 126 away from 160, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
340 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5542.095238
Subtract 336 from 340 to get 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 13:
42 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5542.095238
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 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 14:
400 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 22.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5542.09523809
Subtract 378 from 400 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 5542.09523809, with a leftover of 2.2e-08.
