Let's divide 42140 by 24
We want to figure out the number of times 42140 can be divided by 24.

On to step 1:
24 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 42 / 24

Going ahead to step 2:
42 divided by 24 is 1 with a remainder of 18.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 24 away from 42, we end up with 18.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 181 / 24

Advancing to step 3:
24 can be fit into 181 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 168 from 181 and we're left with 13.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 134 / 24

On to step 4:
When dividing 134 by 24, we get 5 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 175.0
Subtracting 120 from 134 leaves us with 14.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 140 / 24

On to step 5:
If we divide 140 by 24, we get 5 and a remainder of 20.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1755.0
If we take 120 away from 140, we end up 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 6:
24 goes into 200 8 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1755.8
Subtract 192 from 200 to get 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 7:
24 goes into 80 3 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1755.83
If we subtract 72 from 80, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 80 by 24, we get 3 with a remainder of 8.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1755.833
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 72 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 1755.833 with a balance of 0.0008.
