We divide 898344 by 42
Our goal is to divide 898344 by 42.

Advancing to step 1:
42 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 89 / 42

On to step 2:
89 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 5.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 84 from 89 to get 5.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 58 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
42 can be fit into 58 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtracting 42 from 58 leaves us with 16.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 163 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 42 fits into 163 3 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 213.0
Subtracting 126 from 163 leaves us with 37.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 37 and continue: 374 / 42

Step 5:
The number 42 fits into 374 8 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2138.0
Subtract 336 from 374 to get 38.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 38, then repeat: 384 / 42

Step 6:
The number 42 fits into 384 9 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 21389.0
If we take 378 away from 384, 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.

Moving on to step 7:
42 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21389.1
If we subtract 42 from 60, we 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 180 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21389.14
If we take 168 away from 180, we end up 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.

Step 9:
If we divide 120 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 36.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21389.142
Subtracting 84 from 120 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
42 goes into 360 8 times with a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21389.1428
Subtract 336 from 360 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.

Step 11:
When dividing 240 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21389.14285
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.

Step 12:
When dividing 300 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 6.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21389.142857
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 60 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21389.1428571
If we subtract 42 from 60, we 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.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 42 fits into 180 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21389.14285714
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.

The final outcome is 21389.14285714, with a leftover of 1.2e-08.
