We divide 977294 by 42
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 977294.

Going ahead to step 1:
42 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 97 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 97 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 13.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 84 from 97 to get 13.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 137 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 137 3 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 126 from 137.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 112 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 42 fits into 112 2 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 232.0
If we take 84 away from 112, we end up with 28.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 289 / 42

Step 5:
42 goes into 289 6 times with a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2326.0
If we take 252 away from 289, we end up with 37.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 37 and continue: 374 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 374 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 38.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23268.0
If we take 336 away from 374, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
42 can be fit into 380 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23268.9
Subtract 378 from 380 to 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.

Advancing to step 8:
42 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23268.9
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 200 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 23268.904
If we take 168 away from 200, 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 10:
When dividing 320 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23268.9047
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 294 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 11:
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: 23268.90476
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.

On to step 12:
The number 42 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23268.904761
If we subtract 42 from 80, we 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
380 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 23268.9047619
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.

Moving on to step 14:
42 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23268.9047619
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.

The final result is 23268.9047619 with a remainder of 2e-08.
