Let's divide 232234 by 42
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 232234.

Step 1:
If we divide 2 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 23 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 23 0 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 23, we get 23.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 232 / 42

Step 3:
232 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 22.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 210 away from 232, we end up with 22.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 222 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 222 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 55.0
If we take 210 away from 222, we end up with 12.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 123 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 123 2 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 552.0
Subtract 84 from 123 to get 39.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 39 and continue: 394 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 394 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 16.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5529.0
If we take 378 away from 394, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 160 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5529.3
Subtracting 126 from 160 leaves us 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 8:
If we divide 340 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5529.38
If we take 336 away from 340, we end up 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 9:
40 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5529.38
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 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 10:
When dividing 400 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 22.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5529.3809
Deduct 378 from 400 and we're left 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.

On to step 11:
42 goes into 220 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5529.38095
Subtract 210 from 220 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 42 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5529.380952
If we take 84 away from 100, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 160 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 34.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5529.3809523
Deduct 126 from 160 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 340 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5529.38095238
If we subtract 336 from 340, we 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.

The final result is 5529.38095238 with a remainder of 4e-09.
