Let's divide 224838 by 42
Our goal is to divide 224838 by 42.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 22 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 22 0 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 0 from 22.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 224 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 224 5 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 210 from 224 and we're left with 14.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 148 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
148 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 53.0
Subtracting 126 from 148 leaves us with 22.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 223 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 223 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 13.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 535.0
Deduct 210 from 223 and we're left with 13.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 138 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
42 can be fit into 138 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5353.0
If we take 126 away from 138, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5353.2
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 84 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
42 can be fit into 360 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5353.28
Deduct 336 from 360 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
42 can be fit into 240 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5353.285
Subtract 210 from 240 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
42 goes into 300 7 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5353.2857
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 42 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5353.28571
Subtract 42 from 60 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
42 goes into 180 4 times with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5353.285714
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 120 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 36.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5353.2857142
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 84 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 360 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5353.28571428
Subtract 336 from 360 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5353.28571428 and a remainder of 2.4e-08.
