Let's divide 982204 by 42
Our goal is to divide 982204 by 42.

On to step 1:
42 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 98 / 42

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
Subtracting 84 from 98 leaves us with 14.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 142 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 142 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 16.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23.0
Deduct 126 from 142 and we're left with 16.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 162 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
The number 42 fits into 162 3 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 233.0
Deduct 126 from 162 and we're left with 36.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 36 and continue with: 360 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 360 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2338.0
Subtract 336 from 360 to get 24.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 244 / 42

On to step 6:
42 can be fit into 244 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 23385.0
Subtracting 210 from 244 leaves us 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 7:
42 goes into 340 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23385.8
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.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 40 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23385.8
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.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 400 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 22.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23385.809
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 10:
220 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23385.8095
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 210 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 100 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23385.80952
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 84 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
42 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23385.809523
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 13:
42 goes into 340 8 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 23385.8095238
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 14:
When dividing 40 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 23385.8095238
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 23385.8095238 and a remainder of 4e-08.
