We're dividing 923992 by 42 
Our goal is to divide 923992 by 42.

On to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 92 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
42 can be fit into 92 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 84 from 92 leaves us with 8.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 83 / 42

Step 3:
42 can be fit into 83 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtracting 42 from 83 leaves us with 41.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 41, then carry on: 419 / 42

On to step 4:
42 goes into 419 9 times with a remainder of 41.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 219.0
Deduct 378 from 419 and we're left with 41.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 41, then repeat: 419 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 419 9 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2199.0
If we take 378 away from 419, we end up with 41.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 41 and repeat the process: 412 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 412 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21999.0
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 378 from 412.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 340 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21999.8
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.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 40 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21999.8
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
42 can be fit into 400 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21999.809
If we take 378 away from 400, we end up 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.

Step 10:
42 can be fit into 220 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 21999.8095
Deduct 210 from 220 and we're left 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 11:
If we divide 100 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21999.80952
Subtract 84 from 100 to 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.

On to step 12:
160 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 34.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21999.809523
If we subtract 126 from 160, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
340 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21999.8095238
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.

On to step 14:
42 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21999.8095238
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Our division results in 21999.8095238 with a remaining 4e-08.
