896543 divided by 42 
We want to figure out the number of times 896543 can be divided by 42.

Step 1:
The number 42 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 89 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 89 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 5.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 84 away from 89, we end up with 5.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 56 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 56 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 14.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtracting 42 from 56 leaves us with 14.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 145 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 42 fits into 145 3 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 213.0
Deduct 126 from 145 and we're left with 19.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 19, then repeat: 194 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 194 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2134.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 168 from 194.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 263 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 263 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 21346.0
Deduct 252 from 263 and we're left 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.

Step 7:
42 can be fit into 110 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 21346.2
Subtract 84 from 110 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.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 42 fits into 260 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 21346.26
Subtract 252 from 260 to 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.

Step 9:
When dividing 80 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 38.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21346.261
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 42 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 10:
380 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21346.2619
Subtracting 378 from 380 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 42 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 21346.2619
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
200 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21346.261904
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.

Moving on to step 13:
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: 21346.2619047
Deduct 294 from 320 and we're left 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.

On to step 14:
When dividing 260 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21346.26190476
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 final result is 21346.26190476 with a remainder of 8e-09.
