Let's divide 104407 by 42
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 104407.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 10 / 42

On to step 2:
If we divide 10 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 104 / 42

On to step 3:
104 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 84 from 104, we get 20.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 204 / 42

Step 4:
204 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 36.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we take 168 away from 204, we end up with 36.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 36, then repeat: 360 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 360 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 248.0
If we subtract 336 from 360, we get 24.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 247 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 247 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 37.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2485.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 210 from 247.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
42 goes into 370 8 times with a remainder of 34.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2485.8
Deduct 336 from 370 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
42 goes into 340 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2485.88
If we take 336 away from 340, we end up 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.

The final result is 2485.88 with a remainder of 0.004.
