We're dividing 96984395 by 42 
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 96984395.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 96 / 42

Step 2:
The number 42 fits into 96 2 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 84 from 96, we get 12.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 129 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 129 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23.0
If we subtract 126 from 129, we get 3.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 38 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
38 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 38.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 230.0
Subtracting 0 from 38 leaves us with 38.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 38 and continue: 384 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
42 goes into 384 9 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2309.0
If we take 378 away from 384, we end up with 6.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 63 / 42

On to step 6:
When dividing 63 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 21.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23091.0
Subtracting 42 from 63 leaves us with 21.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 219 / 42

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 219 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 9.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 230915.0
Subtract 210 from 219 to get 9.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 95 / 42

Let's proceed to step 8:
42 can be fit into 95 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2309152.0
Subtracting 84 from 95 leaves us with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 110 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 26.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2309152.2
If we take 84 away from 110, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 260 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2309152.26
Subtracting 252 from 260 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 42 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2309152.261
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.

Moving on to step 12:
42 can be fit into 380 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2309152.2619
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 378 from 380.
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 13:
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: 2309152.2619
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 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 14:
The number 42 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2309152.261904
Deduct 168 from 200 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 15:
42 can be fit into 320 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2309152.2619047
If we take 294 away from 320, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 16:
When dividing 260 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2309152.26190476
Subtracting 252 from 260 leaves us 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.

The quotient of the division is 2309152.26190476, and the remainder is 8e-09.
