Let's divide 185186 by 42
We want to figure out the number of times 185186 can be divided by 42.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 18 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 18 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 18, we end up with 18.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 185 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 185 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 17.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 168 from 185 and we're left with 17.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 171 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
171 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 3.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 44.0
If we subtract 168 from 171, we get 3.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 38 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
42 goes into 38 0 times with a remainder of 38.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 440.0
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 0 from 38.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 386 / 42

Step 6:
42 can be fit into 386 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 4409.0
Subtracting 378 from 386 leaves us 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 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 38.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4409.1
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.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 380 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 4409.19
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.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 42 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4409.19
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 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 10:
When dividing 200 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4409.1904
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.

Moving on to step 11:
42 can be fit into 320 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4409.19047
Subtract 294 from 320 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 260 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4409.190476
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.

Step 13:
If we divide 80 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 38.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4409.1904761
If we subtract 42 from 80, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 380 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4409.19047619
Subtracting 378 from 380 leaves us 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 4409.19047619 and a remainder of 2e-09.
