We divide 41947 by 42
Our goal is to divide 41947 by 42.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 41 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 41 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 0 from 41.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 41 and repeat the process: 419 / 42

On to step 3:
If we divide 419 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 41.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we subtract 378 from 419, we get 41.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 41, then repeat: 414 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 414 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 36.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 99.0
If we take 378 away from 414, we end up with 36.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 36, then repeat: 367 / 42

Step 5:
42 goes into 367 8 times with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 998.0
If we subtract 336 from 367, we get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Step 6:
When dividing 310 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 998.7
If we subtract 294 from 310, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
160 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 998.73
Subtract 126 from 160 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 340 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 998.738
If we subtract 336 from 340, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
42 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 998.738
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
42 goes into 400 9 times with a remainder of 22.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 998.73809
Deduct 378 from 400 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 220 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 998.738095
If we take 210 away from 220, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 42 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 998.7380952
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 84 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 998.73809523
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 126 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 998.73809523, with a leftover of 3.4e-08.
