901568 ÷ 42 
Our goal is to divide 901568 by 42.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 90 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
42 can be fit into 90 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 84 from 90 and we're left with 6.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 61 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
61 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 19.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we take 42 away from 61, we end up with 19.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 195 / 42

Step 4:
When dividing 195 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 27.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 214.0
Deduct 168 from 195 and we're left with 27.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 276 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 276 6 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2146.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 252 from 276.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 248 / 42

Step 6:
248 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 38.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21465.0
If we subtract 210 from 248, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 380 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 21465.9
Subtracting 378 from 380 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
42 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21465.9
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 42 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21465.904
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 168 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 320 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 26.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21465.9047
If we take 294 away from 320, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
42 can be fit into 260 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21465.90476
Deduct 252 from 260 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 80 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 38.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21465.904761
Deduct 42 from 80 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 380 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21465.9047619
Subtract 378 from 380 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 20 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21465.9047619
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 21465.9047619, and the remainder is 2e-08.
