We look at the division of 996500 by 42 
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 996500.

On to step 1:
42 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 99 / 42

On to step 2:
42 can be fit into 99 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 84 from 99.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 156 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 156 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 126 from 156.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 305 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 305 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 11.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 237.0
Subtracting 294 from 305 leaves us with 11.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 110 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 110 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 26.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2372.0
If we subtract 84 from 110, we get 26.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 260 / 42

On to step 6:
If we divide 260 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23726.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 252 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 80 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 23726.1
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.

Moving on to step 8:
42 can be fit into 380 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23726.19
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 378 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 20 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23726.19
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
42 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23726.1904
If we subtract 168 from 200, we 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 11:
42 goes into 320 7 times with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23726.19047
Subtract 294 from 320 to get 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 12:
The number 42 fits into 260 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23726.190476
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23726.1904761
Subtract 42 from 80 to 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 14:
380 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 23726.19047619
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 378 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Our division results in 23726.19047619 with a remaining 2e-09.
