873323 divided by 42 
We want to figure out the number of times 873323 can be divided by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 87 / 42

Step 2:
When dividing 87 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 3.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 84 from 87.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 33 / 42

On to step 3:
If we divide 33 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 33.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20.0
Subtracting 0 from 33 leaves us with 33.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 33 and repeat the process: 333 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
42 goes into 333 7 times with a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 207.0
Subtract 294 from 333 to get 39.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 39, then carry on: 392 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 392 9 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2079.0
If we take 378 away from 392, we end up with 14.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 143 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 143 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 17.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20793.0
If we take 126 away from 143, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
42 goes into 170 4 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20793.4
If we subtract 168 from 170, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
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: 20793.4
Subtract 0 from 20 to 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.

Step 9:
The number 42 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20793.404
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 168 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 320 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20793.4047
Subtract 294 from 320 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.

Step 11:
260 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20793.40476
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.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 80 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 20793.404761
If we take 42 away from 80, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 380 9 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20793.4047619
Deduct 378 from 380 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
42 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 20793.4047619
Subtract 0 from 20 to 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.

The quotient of the division is 20793.4047619, and the remainder is 2e-08.
