Let's divide 917314 by 42
We want to figure out the number of times 917314 can be divided by 42.

On 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
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 91 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
91 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 84 from 91 to get 7.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 77 / 42

On to step 3:
When dividing 77 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtract 42 from 77 to get 35.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 353 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
42 goes into 353 8 times with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 218.0
If we subtract 336 from 353, we get 17.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 171 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
171 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 3.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2184.0
Subtract 168 from 171 to get 3.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 34 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 34 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 21840.0
If we subtract 0 from 34, we get 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 7:
42 goes into 340 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21840.8
If we subtract 336 from 340, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 42 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 21840.8
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
42 goes into 400 9 times with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21840.809
If we take 378 away from 400, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 10:
220 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 21840.8095
If we subtract 210 from 220, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 42 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21840.80952
Subtract 84 from 100 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 12:
160 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 34.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21840.809523
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 126 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 340 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21840.8095238
Subtracting 336 from 340 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 40 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21840.8095238
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Our division results in 21840.8095238 with a remaining 4e-08.
