We look at the division of 977246 by 42 
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 977246.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 97 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
42 can be fit into 97 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 84 away from 97, we end up with 13.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 137 / 42

On to step 3:
42 can be fit into 137 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23.0
Subtracting 126 from 137 leaves us with 11.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 112 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 112 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 28.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 232.0
Subtract 84 from 112 to get 28.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 284 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
284 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2326.0
If we subtract 252 from 284, we get 32.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 32, then repeat: 326 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 326 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 32.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23267.0
If we subtract 294 from 326, 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 320 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 26.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23267.7
Deduct 294 from 320 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 260 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23267.76
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.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 42 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23267.761
If we take 42 away from 80, we end up with 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:
42 can be fit into 380 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23267.7619
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.

Moving on to step 11:
42 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23267.7619
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 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.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 23267.761904
If we take 168 away from 200, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 13:
320 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23267.7619047
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
260 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23267.76190476
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 252 from 260.
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 23267.76190476, with a leftover of 8e-09.
