996155 ÷ 42 
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 996155.

Moving on to step 1:
42 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 99 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
42 can be fit into 99 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 84 from 99 leaves us with 15.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 156 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
42 can be fit into 156 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23.0
Deduct 126 from 156 and we're left with 30.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 30, then repeat: 301 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 301 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 7.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 237.0
If we take 294 away from 301, we end up with 7.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 75 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 75 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 33.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2371.0
Deduct 42 from 75 and we're left with 33.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 33, then carry on: 335 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 335 7 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23717.0
If we subtract 294 from 335, we get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
42 goes into 410 9 times with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23717.9
Subtracting 378 from 410 leaves us 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 8:
If we divide 320 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 23717.97
Subtract 294 from 320 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 260 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23717.976
Deduct 252 from 260 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
42 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 38.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23717.9761
Subtract 42 from 80 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 11:
42 can be fit into 380 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23717.97619
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 378 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 20 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23717.97619
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 200 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23717.9761904
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
42 goes into 320 7 times with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23717.97619047
Subtract 294 from 320 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Our division results in 23717.97619047 with a remaining 2.6e-08.
