908548 divided by 42 
We want to figure out the number of times 908548 can be divided by 42.

Going ahead to step 1:
9 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 90 / 42

Step 2:
42 goes into 90 2 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 84 away from 90, we end up with 6.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 68 / 42

On to step 3:
68 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 26.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21.0
Deduct 42 from 68 and we're left with 26.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 265 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
265 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 13.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 216.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 252 from 265.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 134 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 134 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2163.0
Subtracting 126 from 134 leaves us with 8.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 88 / 42

On to step 6:
When dividing 88 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21632.0
Deduct 84 from 88 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 40 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21632.0
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.

On to step 8:
42 goes into 400 9 times with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 21632.09
Subtract 378 from 400 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 9:
42 can be fit into 220 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21632.095
Subtract 210 from 220 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 100 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21632.0952
Subtract 84 from 100 to 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.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 160 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 34.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21632.09523
If we subtract 126 from 160, we 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.

Moving on to step 12:
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: 21632.095238
If we take 336 away from 340, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
42 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21632.095238
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 42 fits into 400 9 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21632.09523809
If we take 378 away from 400, we end up 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.

The final result is 21632.09523809 with a remainder of 2.2e-08.
