962860 ÷ 42 
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 962860.

Step 1:
42 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 96 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 96 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 84 from 96, we get 12.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 122 / 42

On to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 122 2 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22.0
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 84 from 122.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 38 and repeat the process: 388 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 388 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 10.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 229.0
Subtract 378 from 388 to get 10.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 106 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
42 can be fit into 106 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2292.0
Deduct 84 from 106 and we're left with 22.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 220 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 220 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22925.0
Subtracting 210 from 220 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 7:
42 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22925.2
Subtracting 84 from 100 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 160 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 34.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22925.23
Subtract 126 from 160 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 9:
42 goes into 340 8 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22925.238
If we subtract 336 from 340, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
40 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 22925.238
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
400 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 22.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22925.23809
If we take 378 away from 400, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 42 fits into 220 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22925.238095
Subtracting 210 from 220 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
100 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22925.2380952
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 84 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 42 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22925.23809523
If we take 126 away from 160, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Our division results in 22925.23809523 with a remaining 3.4e-08.
