We're dividing 883489 by 42 
Our goal is to divide 883489 by 42.

Step 1:
42 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 88 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
42 can be fit into 88 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 84 from 88 and we're left with 4.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 43 / 42

Step 3:
When dividing 43 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 1.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 42 from 43.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 42

On to step 4:
If we divide 14 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 14.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 210.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 0 from 14.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 148 / 42

On to step 5:
148 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 22.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2103.0
Subtract 126 from 148 to get 22.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 229 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
42 goes into 229 5 times with a remainder of 19.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21035.0
Subtracting 210 from 229 leaves us with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 190 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 22.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21035.4
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 168 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
42 can be fit into 220 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21035.45
Subtract 210 from 220 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 100 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21035.452
Subtracting 84 from 100 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 160 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21035.4523
Subtracting 126 from 160 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
42 goes into 340 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21035.45238
If we take 336 away from 340, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
42 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21035.45238
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 400 9 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21035.4523809
Deduct 378 from 400 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 220 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 21035.45238095
Deduct 210 from 220 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

The final result is 21035.45238095 with a remainder of 1e-08.
