We're dividing 897232 by 42 
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 897232.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 89 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 89 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 84 from 89 leaves us with 5.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 57 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
57 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 15.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21.0
Deduct 42 from 57 and we're left with 15.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 152 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
42 goes into 152 3 times with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 213.0
Subtracting 126 from 152 leaves us with 26.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 263 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
42 can be fit into 263 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2136.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 252 from 263.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 112 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 112 2 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21362.0
If we take 84 away from 112, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
280 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 28.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21362.6
Subtract 252 from 280 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 42 fits into 280 6 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21362.66
Deduct 252 from 280 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

The final result is 21362.66 with a remainder of 0.028.
