We divide 904154 by 42
Our goal is to divide 904154 by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 90 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
42 can be fit into 90 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 84 from 90, we get 6.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 64 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 64 1 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21.0
Deduct 42 from 64 and we're left with 22.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 221 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 42 fits into 221 5 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 215.0
Subtracting 210 from 221 leaves us with 11.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 115 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 115 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 31.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2152.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 84 from 115.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 314 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
42 can be fit into 314 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21527.0
Subtract 294 from 314 to 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.

Advancing to step 7:
42 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 21527.4
Subtract 168 from 200 to get 32.
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 8:
320 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 26.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21527.47
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.

Step 9:
42 can be fit into 260 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21527.476
If we subtract 252 from 260, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 80 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 38.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21527.4761
If we take 42 away from 80, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 11:
380 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 21527.47619
If we subtract 378 from 380, we 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.

Advancing to step 12:
42 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21527.47619
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left 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.

On to step 13:
When dividing 200 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 21527.4761904
If we take 168 away from 200, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 320 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 26.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21527.47619047
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 294 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 21527.47619047, and the remainder is 2.6e-08.
