896752 ÷ 42 
We want to divide 896752 by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 89 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
42 goes into 89 2 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 84 from 89.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 56 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
42 goes into 56 1 times with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtract 42 from 56 to get 14.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 147 / 42

On to step 4:
When dividing 147 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 21.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 213.0
If we take 126 away from 147, we end up with 21.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 215 / 42

Step 5:
42 can be fit into 215 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2135.0
Subtracting 210 from 215 leaves us with 5.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 52 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 52 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 10.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21351.0
Subtracting 42 from 52 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 7:
42 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21351.2
Deduct 84 from 100 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 8:
42 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 34.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21351.23
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 126 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 340 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 21351.238
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 336 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
42 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21351.238
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
42 goes into 400 9 times with a remainder of 22.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21351.23809
Deduct 378 from 400 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
42 goes into 220 5 times with a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21351.238095
If we subtract 210 from 220, we 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 13:
The number 42 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21351.2380952
If we subtract 84 from 100, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
160 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 34.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21351.23809523
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.

The final outcome is 21351.23809523, with a leftover of 3.4e-08.
