We divide 842986 by 96
We're looking to find how many times 96 goes into 842986.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 96, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 84 / 96

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 96 fits into 84 0 times, leaving a remainder of 84.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 84 after subtracting 0 from 84.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 84 and continue with: 842 / 96

Going ahead to step 3:
842 divided by 96 is 8 with a remainder of 74.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Deduct 768 from 842 and we're left with 74.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 74 and continue with: 749 / 96

On to step 4:
The number 96 fits into 749 7 times, leaving a remainder of 77.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 87.0
Subtract 672 from 749 to get 77.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 77 and continue with: 778 / 96

Step 5:
778 divided by 96 is 8 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 878.0
Subtract 768 from 778 to get 10.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 106 / 96

Moving on to step 6:
The number 96 fits into 106 1 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 8781.0
Subtract 96 from 106 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.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 96 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8781.1
Deduct 96 from 100 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 40 by 96, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 8781.1
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
96 can be fit into 400 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8781.104
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 384 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
96 can be fit into 160 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8781.1041
Subtracting 96 from 160 leaves us with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
640 divided by 96 is 6 with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 8781.10416
Subtract 576 from 640 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 640 by 96, we get 6 with a remainder of 64.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8781.104166
Subtracting 576 from 640 leaves us with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

The final result is 8781.104166 with a remainder of 6.4e-06.
