We divide 984412 by 42
Our goal is to divide 984412 by 42.

Going ahead 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
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 98 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 98 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 14.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 84 from 98, we get 14.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 144 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 144 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 18.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23.0
Subtract 126 from 144 to get 18.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 184 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 184 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 234.0
Subtract 168 from 184 to get 16.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 161 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
42 can be fit into 161 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2343.0
If we take 126 away from 161, we end up with 35.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 35 and repeat the process: 352 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 352 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23438.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 336 from 352.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
42 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 23438.3
Deduct 126 from 160 and we're left with 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 8:
The number 42 fits into 340 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23438.38
Subtracting 336 from 340 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
42 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23438.38
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 400 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 22.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23438.3809
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 378 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 11:
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: 23438.38095
If we take 210 away from 220, 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.

On to step 12:
The number 42 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23438.380952
Subtracting 84 from 100 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 13:
42 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 34.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23438.3809523
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 126 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 340 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23438.38095238
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.

The quotient of the division is 23438.38095238, and the remainder is 4e-09.
