We look at the division of 882972 by 42 
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 882972.

Advancing to step 1:
8 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 88 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
88 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 84 from 88 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 42 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 42 1 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we subtract 42 from 42, we get 0.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 9 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
9 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 210.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 97 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
42 can be fit into 97 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2102.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 84 from 97.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 13, then carry on: 132 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 132 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 6.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21023.0
Deduct 126 from 132 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 60 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21023.1
If we take 42 away from 60, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
42 goes into 180 4 times with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21023.14
Deduct 168 from 180 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
42 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21023.142
If we subtract 84 from 120, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
42 goes into 360 8 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21023.1428
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 336 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 11:
240 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21023.14285
Deduct 210 from 240 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 300 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 6.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21023.142857
Deduct 294 from 300 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 13:
60 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 18.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21023.1428571
Deduct 42 from 60 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
180 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21023.14285714
Deduct 168 from 180 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 21023.14285714 and a remainder of 1.2e-08.
