Let's divide 442938 by 42
We want to figure out the number of times 442938 can be divided by 42.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 44 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 44 1 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 42 from 44 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 22 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 22 0 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtract 0 from 22 to get 22.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 229 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
42 goes into 229 5 times with a remainder of 19.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 105.0
If we take 210 away from 229, we end up with 19.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 19, then repeat: 193 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
193 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 25.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1054.0
Subtracting 168 from 193 leaves us with 25.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 258 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
258 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 6.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10546.0
If we subtract 252 from 258, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 7:
42 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10546.1
Deduct 42 from 60 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 42 fits into 180 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10546.14
Deduct 168 from 180 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
42 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10546.142
Subtract 84 from 120 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 360 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10546.1428
Subtract 336 from 360 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
42 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10546.14285
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 210 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
42 goes into 300 7 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10546.142857
If we take 294 away from 300, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
42 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 18.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10546.1428571
If we subtract 42 from 60, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 180 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10546.14285714
Subtracting 168 from 180 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 10546.14285714, with a leftover of 1.2e-08.
