We look at the division of 949171 by 42 
We want to divide 949171 by 42.

Advancing to step 1:
42 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 94 / 42

On to step 2:
42 can be fit into 94 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 84 from 94 and we're left with 10.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 109 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 109 2 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22.0
Subtract 84 from 109 to get 25.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 251 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
251 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 225.0
Subtract 210 from 251 to get 41.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 41 and continue: 417 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 417 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 39.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2259.0
Deduct 378 from 417 and we're left with 39.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 39 and continue with: 391 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 391 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 13.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22599.0
If we subtract 378 from 391, we get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 130 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 4.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22599.3
If we subtract 126 from 130, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 42 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 22599.3
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
400 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22599.309
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 378 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 220 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22599.3095
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.

On to step 11:
42 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 22599.30952
Subtracting 84 from 100 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 160 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 22599.309523
If we take 126 away from 160, we end up with 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 13:
42 goes into 340 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22599.3095238
If we subtract 336 from 340, we get 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 14:
42 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22599.3095238
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.

After the division, we end up with 22599.3095238 and a remainder of 4e-08.
