We divide 981522 by 42
We want to figure out the number of times 981522 can be divided by 42.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 98 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
42 goes into 98 2 times with a remainder of 14.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 84 away from 98, we end up with 14.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 141 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
42 goes into 141 3 times with a remainder of 15.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23.0
If we subtract 126 from 141, we get 15.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 155 / 42

On to step 4:
When dividing 155 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 29.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 233.0
Subtracting 126 from 155 leaves us with 29.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 292 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
42 goes into 292 6 times with a remainder of 40.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2336.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 252 from 292.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 402 / 42

On to step 6:
42 can be fit into 402 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23369.0
Subtract 378 from 402 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.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 240 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 23369.5
Subtract 210 from 240 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
42 goes into 300 7 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23369.57
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.

On to step 9:
When dividing 60 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 23369.571
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.

On to step 10:
42 goes into 180 4 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 23369.5714
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
42 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 23369.57142
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.

Step 12:
If we divide 360 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 23369.571428
Subtracting 336 from 360 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 240 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23369.5714285
If we subtract 210 from 240, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
42 goes into 300 7 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23369.57142857
Subtracting 294 from 300 leaves us 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.

After the division, we end up with 23369.57142857 and a remainder of 6e-09.
