We're dividing 886492 by 42 
We want to figure out the number of times 886492 can be divided by 42.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 88 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 88 2 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 84 from 88 to get 4.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 46 / 42

On to step 3:
46 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 4.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtracting 42 from 46 leaves us with 4.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 44 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
42 can be fit into 44 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 211.0
Subtract 42 from 44 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 29 / 42

On to step 5:
42 goes into 29 0 times with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2110.0
If we take 0 away from 29, we end up with 29.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 292 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 292 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21106.0
Subtracting 252 from 292 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.

Step 7:
When dividing 400 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 22.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21106.9
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.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 220 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21106.95
Deduct 210 from 220 and we're left 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.

Step 9:
The number 42 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21106.952
If we subtract 84 from 100, we get 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 10:
42 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21106.9523
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.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 340 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21106.95238
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.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 40 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21106.95238
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 400 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21106.9523809
Subtracting 378 from 400 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 42 fits into 220 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21106.95238095
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.

The quotient of the division is 21106.95238095, and the remainder is 1e-08.
