Let's divide 823604 by 42
We want to divide 823604 by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 42, we get 0 and 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 (2) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 82 / 42

On to step 2:
When dividing 82 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 42 from 82 leaves us with 40.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 403 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 403 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 19.0
Subtracting 378 from 403 leaves us with 25.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 256 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
42 goes into 256 6 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 196.0
Subtract 252 from 256 to get 4.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 40 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 40 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1960.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 404 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
42 goes into 404 9 times with a remainder of 26.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19609.0
Subtracting 378 from 404 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.

On to step 7:
42 goes into 260 6 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19609.6
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.

Moving on to step 8:
42 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19609.61
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.

Moving on to step 9:
380 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 19609.619
Subtracting 378 from 380 leaves us with 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 10:
If we divide 20 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19609.619
Subtract 0 from 20 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 200 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19609.61904
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.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 320 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 19609.619047
If we subtract 294 from 320, we 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 13:
260 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19609.6190476
Subtracting 252 from 260 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
42 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 19609.61904761
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.

The final result is 19609.61904761 with a remainder of 3.8e-08.
