899677 ÷ 42 
Our goal is to divide 899677 by 42.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 89 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
89 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 5.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 84 from 89 to get 5.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 59 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 59 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtract 42 from 59 to get 17.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 176 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
176 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 214.0
Subtracting 168 from 176 leaves us with 8.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 87 / 42

Step 5:
When dividing 87 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 3.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2142.0
If we take 84 away from 87, we end up with 3.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 37 / 42

On to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 37 0 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21420.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 0 from 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Step 7:
42 can be fit into 370 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 21420.8
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 336 from 370.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
42 can be fit into 340 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21420.88
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.

After the division, we end up with 21420.88 and a remainder of 0.004.
