Let's divide 991284 by 42
We want to divide 991284 by 42.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 99 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 99 2 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 84 from 99 leaves us with 15.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 151 / 42

Step 3:
When dividing 151 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 25.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23.0
Subtracting 126 from 151 leaves us with 25.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 252 / 42

Step 4:
If we divide 252 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 0.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 236.0
If we subtract 252 from 252, we get 0.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 8 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
42 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2360.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 84 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
84 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23602.0
If we subtract 84 from 84, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23602.0
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 0 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23602.0
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 23602.0, and the remainder is 0.0.
