We divide 999801 by 42
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 999801.

Let's proceed to step 1:
42 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 99 / 42

Step 2:
The number 42 fits into 99 2 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 84 from 99 to get 15.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 159 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
42 can be fit into 159 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23.0
If we subtract 126 from 159, we get 33.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 33 and continue: 338 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
42 goes into 338 8 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 238.0
If we subtract 336 from 338, we get 2.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 20 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2380.0
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 201 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 201 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23804.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 168 from 201.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 330 7 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23804.7
If we take 294 away from 330, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
42 goes into 360 8 times with a remainder of 24.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23804.78
Subtracting 336 from 360 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 9:
42 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23804.785
Subtract 210 from 240 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 10:
42 goes into 300 7 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23804.7857
Subtracting 294 from 300 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 60 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 18.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23804.78571
If we take 42 away from 60, we end up 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 12:
When dividing 180 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23804.785714
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 120 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23804.7857142
If we subtract 84 from 120, we 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.

On to step 14:
42 goes into 360 8 times with a remainder of 24.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23804.78571428
If we subtract 336 from 360, we 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.

The final result is 23804.78571428 with a remainder of 2.4e-08.
