999218 divided by 42 
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 999218.

Let's proceed to step 1:
42 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 99 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 99 2 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 84 from 99 to get 15.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 159 / 42

Step 3:
159 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23.0
Deduct 126 from 159 and we're left with 33.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 33, then repeat: 332 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
332 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 38.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 237.0
Subtracting 294 from 332 leaves us with 38.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 38 and repeat the process: 381 / 42

On to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 381 9 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2379.0
If we take 378 away from 381, we end up with 3.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 38 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
38 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 38.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23790.0
Deduct 0 from 38 and we're left 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:
If we divide 380 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 23790.9
Deduct 378 from 380 and we're left with 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 8:
42 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23790.9
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left 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:
42 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23790.904
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.

On to step 10:
The number 42 fits into 320 7 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23790.9047
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.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 260 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23790.90476
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.

Step 12:
80 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 23790.904761
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.

On to step 13:
42 goes into 380 9 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23790.9047619
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
20 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23790.9047619
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 23790.9047619 and a remainder of 2e-08.
