99725 ÷ 42 
We want to figure out the number of times 99725 can be divided by 42.

On to step 1:
42 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 99 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 99 2 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 84 away from 99, we end up with 15.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 157 / 42

Step 3:
42 goes into 157 3 times with a remainder of 31.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23.0
Subtract 126 from 157 to get 31.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 312 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
312 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 237.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 294 from 312.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 185 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 185 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 17.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2374.0
Subtracting 168 from 185 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 6:
170 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2374.4
If we take 168 away from 170, we end up 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 7:
42 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2374.4
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
42 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2374.404
Subtracting 168 from 200 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 320 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2374.4047
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 10:
When dividing 260 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2374.40476
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 80 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2374.404761
Deduct 42 from 80 and we're left 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 12:
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: 2374.4047619
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
20 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2374.4047619
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.

After the division, we end up with 2374.4047619 and a remainder of 2e-08.
