98776 ÷ 42 
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 98776.

On to step 1:
42 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
42 goes into 98 2 times with a remainder of 14.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 84 from 98 to get 14.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 147 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
42 can be fit into 147 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23.0
If we subtract 126 from 147, we get 21.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 217 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 217 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 235.0
Subtract 210 from 217 to get 7.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 76 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 76 1 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2351.0
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 42 from 76.
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 6:
340 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2351.8
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.

Advancing to step 7:
42 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2351.8
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.

On to step 8:
If we divide 400 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 22.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2351.809
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.

Advancing to step 9:
220 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2351.8095
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
42 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2351.80952
Deduct 84 from 100 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 160 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 34.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2351.809523
Subtract 126 from 160 to get 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 12:
The number 42 fits into 340 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2351.8095238
Deduct 336 from 340 and we're left 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.

Step 13:
42 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2351.8095238
If we subtract 0 from 40, we 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.

The final result is 2351.8095238 with a remainder of 4e-08.
