881235 ÷ 42 
We want to divide 881235 by 42.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 88 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
88 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 84 away from 88, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 41 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 41 0 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20.0
Subtracting 0 from 41 leaves us with 41.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 41 and continue with: 412 / 42

On to step 4:
The number 42 fits into 412 9 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 209.0
If we subtract 378 from 412, we get 34.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 343 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
42 goes into 343 8 times with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2098.0
Deduct 336 from 343 and we're left with 7.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 75 / 42

On to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 75 1 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20981.0
Subtract 42 from 75 to get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
330 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20981.7
Deduct 294 from 330 and we're left 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 8:
42 goes into 360 8 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20981.78
If we subtract 336 from 360, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
42 can be fit into 240 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 20981.785
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 210 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 300 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20981.7857
Subtract 294 from 300 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 11:
42 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 20981.78571
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.

On to step 12:
42 can be fit into 180 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20981.785714
If we take 168 away from 180, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
42 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 20981.7857142
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 84 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
42 goes into 360 8 times with a remainder of 24.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20981.78571428
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.

The final result is 20981.78571428 with a remainder of 2.4e-08.
