968865 ÷ 42 
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 968865.

Moving on 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
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 96 / 42

On to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 96 2 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 84 away from 96, we end up with 12.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 128 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 128 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 2.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23.0
Deduct 126 from 128 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 42

Step 4:
42 can be fit into 28 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 230.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 0 from 28.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 286 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 286 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2306.0
If we subtract 252 from 286, we get 34.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 34, then repeat: 345 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 345 8 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23068.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 336 from 345.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 90 2 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23068.2
Subtract 84 from 90 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 60 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23068.21
Subtract 42 from 60 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 9:
180 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23068.214
If we subtract 168 from 180, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 120 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 36.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23068.2142
If we take 84 away from 120, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
42 can be fit into 360 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23068.21428
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 336 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 12:
240 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23068.214285
If we subtract 210 from 240, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 300 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23068.2142857
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 294 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 14:
60 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23068.21428571
If we take 42 away from 60, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 23068.21428571, and the remainder is 1.8e-08.
