98407 divided by 42 
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 98407.

Let's proceed to step 1:
42 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 98 / 42

Step 2:
98 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 84 from 98 leaves us with 14.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 144 / 42

On to step 3:
144 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 18.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23.0
Subtracting 126 from 144 leaves us with 18.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 180 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 180 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 234.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 168 from 180.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 127 / 42

On to step 5:
If we divide 127 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2343.0
Deduct 126 from 127 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
10 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2343.0
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
42 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2343.02
If we subtract 84 from 100, we 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.

Step 8:
42 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2343.023
Subtract 126 from 160 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
42 goes into 340 8 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2343.0238
If we subtract 336 from 340, we get 4.
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 10:
The number 42 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2343.0238
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
42 goes into 400 9 times with a remainder of 22.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2343.023809
Deduct 378 from 400 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 42 fits into 220 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2343.0238095
Subtract 210 from 220 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 100 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2343.02380952
Deduct 84 from 100 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 2343.02380952, with a leftover of 1.6e-08.
