We divide 97346 by 42
Our goal is to divide 97346 by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 97 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 97 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 13.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 84 from 97 leaves us with 13.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 133 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 133 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 7.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23.0
Subtracting 126 from 133 leaves us with 7.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 74 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
74 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 32.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 231.0
Subtract 42 from 74 to get 32.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 32 and continue: 326 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
326 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 32.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2317.0
If we take 294 away from 326, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
320 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 26.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2317.7
Deduct 294 from 320 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 260 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2317.76
If we subtract 252 from 260, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 42 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2317.761
Subtracting 42 from 80 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 380 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2317.7619
If we subtract 378 from 380, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
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: 2317.7619
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
42 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2317.761904
If we subtract 168 from 200, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
320 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 26.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2317.7619047
Deduct 294 from 320 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 13:
42 can be fit into 260 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2317.76190476
Subtract 252 from 260 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 2317.76190476 and a remainder of 8e-09.
