We divide 972566 by 42
We want to divide 972566 by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 97 / 42

Step 2:
If we divide 97 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 84 from 97, we get 13.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 13, then carry on: 132 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
42 can be fit into 132 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23.0
If we subtract 126 from 132, we get 6.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 65 / 42

On to step 4:
42 can be fit into 65 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 231.0
If we subtract 42 from 65, we get 23.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 236 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 236 5 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2315.0
Deduct 210 from 236 and we're left with 26.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 266 / 42

On to step 6:
266 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23156.0
If we take 252 away from 266, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
140 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 14.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23156.3
If we take 126 away from 140, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 42 fits into 140 3 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23156.33
Subtract 126 from 140 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

The final result is 23156.33 with a remainder of 0.014.
