847617 divided by 42 
Our goal is to divide 847617 by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
42 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 84 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
42 goes into 84 2 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 84 away from 84, we end up with 0.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 7 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
42 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 76 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 76 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 201.0
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 42 from 76.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 341 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
341 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2018.0
Subtract 336 from 341 to get 5.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 57 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 57 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20181.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 42 from 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 150 3 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20181.3
Subtracting 126 from 150 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 42 fits into 240 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20181.35
Deduct 210 from 240 and we're left 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 9:
42 can be fit into 300 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20181.357
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 42 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20181.3571
Subtract 42 from 60 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 180 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 12.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20181.35714
Subtract 168 from 180 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 120 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20181.357142
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 13:
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: 20181.3571428
Deduct 336 from 360 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 14:
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: 20181.35714285
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.

The quotient of the division is 20181.35714285, and the remainder is 3e-08.
