Let's divide 979619 by 42
We want to figure out the number of times 979619 can be divided by 42.

Step 1:
42 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 97 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
97 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 84 from 97, we get 13.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 139 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 139 3 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23.0
Deduct 126 from 139 and we're left with 13.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 136 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
136 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 10.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 233.0
If we take 126 away from 136, we end up with 10.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 101 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
42 goes into 101 2 times with a remainder of 17.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2332.0
Subtracting 84 from 101 leaves us with 17.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 179 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 179 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 23324.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 168 from 179.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 110 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 23324.2
If we subtract 84 from 110, 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 260 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23324.26
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.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 42 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 23324.261
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.

On to step 10:
380 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23324.2619
If we take 378 away from 380, we end up 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.

On to step 11:
42 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 23324.2619
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 200 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23324.261904
If we subtract 168 from 200, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 320 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23324.2619047
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 294 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 42 fits into 260 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23324.26190476
Subtracting 252 from 260 leaves us 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.

The final outcome is 23324.26190476, with a leftover of 8e-09.
