899016 ÷ 42 
Our goal is to divide 899016 by 42.

Step 1:
When dividing 8 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 89 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
42 goes into 89 2 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 84 from 89 to get 5.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 59 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 59 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 17.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we subtract 42 from 59, we get 17.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 170 / 42

On to step 4:
The number 42 fits into 170 4 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 214.0
If we subtract 168 from 170, we get 2.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 21 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 21 0 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2140.0
Subtracting 0 from 21 leaves us with 21.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 216 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 216 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21405.0
If we subtract 210 from 216, we get 6.
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 7:
60 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 18.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21405.1
Subtracting 42 from 60 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 180 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21405.14
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.

Advancing to step 9:
120 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21405.142
Subtract 84 from 120 to get 36.
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 10:
360 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21405.1428
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.

Step 11:
When dividing 240 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21405.14285
Subtracting 210 from 240 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 300 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 6.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21405.142857
If we take 294 away from 300, we end up with 6.
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 13:
When dividing 60 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 21405.1428571
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 42 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 42 fits into 180 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21405.14285714
If we take 168 away from 180, 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.

After the division, we end up with 21405.14285714 and a remainder of 1.2e-08.
