We're dividing 889820 by 42 
We want to divide 889820 by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
42 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 88 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 88 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 84 from 88, we get 4.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 49 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
42 can be fit into 49 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we take 42 away from 49, we end up with 7.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 78 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
42 can be fit into 78 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 211.0
Subtracting 42 from 78 leaves us with 36.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 36, then carry on: 362 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 362 8 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2118.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 336 from 362.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 260 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 260 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21186.0
Subtract 252 from 260 to 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.

On to step 7:
80 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 21186.1
Subtract 42 from 80 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
380 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 21186.19
Subtract 378 from 380 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 20 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21186.19
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 10:
42 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21186.1904
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 168 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
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: 21186.19047
If we subtract 294 from 320, we get 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 12:
42 goes into 260 6 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21186.190476
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.

On to step 13:
42 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21186.1904761
If we subtract 42 from 80, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 380 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 2.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21186.19047619
Subtract 378 from 380 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 21186.19047619 and a remainder of 2e-09.
