We divide 854774 by 42
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 854774.

On to step 1:
42 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 85 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 85 2 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 84 from 85 to get 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 42

Step 3:
14 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 20.0
Subtracting 0 from 14 leaves us with 14.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 147 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
42 goes into 147 3 times with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 203.0
Deduct 126 from 147 and we're left with 21.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 217 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 217 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 7.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2035.0
Subtracting 210 from 217 leaves us with 7.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 74 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 74 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 32.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20351.0
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 42 from 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 320 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 26.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20351.7
If we take 294 away from 320, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 260 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 20351.76
Deduct 252 from 260 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
80 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 38.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20351.761
Subtracting 42 from 80 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
42 can be fit into 380 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20351.7619
Deduct 378 from 380 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
42 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20351.7619
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 42 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20351.761904
If we take 168 away from 200, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 320 7 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20351.7619047
Subtracting 294 from 320 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 42 fits into 260 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 20351.76190476
If we subtract 252 from 260, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 20351.76190476 with a balance of 8e-09.
