We divide 868592 by 42
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 868592.

On to step 1:
42 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 86 / 42

Step 2:
The number 42 fits into 86 2 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 84 from 86 to get 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
42 can be fit into 28 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20.0
If we take 0 away from 28, we end up with 28.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 285 / 42

Step 4:
42 can be fit into 285 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 206.0
If we take 252 away from 285, we end up with 33.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 33 and continue with: 339 / 42

On to step 5:
When dividing 339 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 3.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2068.0
Subtracting 336 from 339 leaves us with 3.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 32 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 32 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 32.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20680.0
Subtracting 0 from 32 leaves us 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.

Step 7:
42 goes into 320 7 times with a remainder of 26.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20680.7
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.

Advancing to step 8:
260 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20680.76
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 80 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 38.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20680.761
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.

On to step 10:
The number 42 fits into 380 9 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20680.7619
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.

Moving on to step 11:
42 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20680.7619
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.

On to step 12:
200 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 20680.761904
Deduct 168 from 200 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 320 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 26.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20680.7619047
Subtracting 294 from 320 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 14:
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: 20680.76190476
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 20680.76190476 with a balance of 8e-09.
