We look at the division of 977228 by 42 
We want to figure out the number of times 977228 can be divided by 42.

Step 1:
If we divide 9 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 97 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 97 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 84 from 97, we get 13.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 137 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
137 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 23.0
Subtract 126 from 137 to get 11.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 112 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 112 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 28.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 232.0
Subtracting 84 from 112 leaves us with 28.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 282 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
42 goes into 282 6 times with a remainder of 30.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2326.0
If we subtract 252 from 282, we get 30.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 30 and continue with: 308 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 308 7 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23267.0
Deduct 294 from 308 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 140 3 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23267.3
If we subtract 126 from 140, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
140 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23267.33
Deduct 126 from 140 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

The final result is 23267.33 with a remainder of 0.014.
