Let's divide 876230 by 42
We want to divide 876230 by 42.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 87 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
42 can be fit into 87 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 84 from 87 leaves us with 3.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 36 / 42

Step 3:
When dividing 36 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20.0
If we take 0 away from 36, we end up with 36.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 362 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 42 fits into 362 8 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 208.0
Deduct 336 from 362 and we're left with 26.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 263 / 42

Step 5:
263 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 11.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2086.0
Deduct 252 from 263 and we're left with 11.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 110 / 42

Step 6:
The number 42 fits into 110 2 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20862.0
Subtracting 84 from 110 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 7:
42 goes into 260 6 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20862.6
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 80 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20862.61
Deduct 42 from 80 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 42 fits into 380 9 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20862.619
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
42 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20862.619
If we subtract 0 from 20, we 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.

Advancing to step 11:
42 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20862.61904
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.

On to step 12:
320 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 26.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20862.619047
Subtract 294 from 320 to 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.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 260 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20862.6190476
If we subtract 252 from 260, we get 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 14:
42 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 38.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20862.61904761
Subtract 42 from 80 to 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.

The quotient of the division is 20862.61904761, and the remainder is 3.8e-08.
