Let's divide 893887 by 42
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 893887.

Advancing to step 1:
42 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 89 / 42

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.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 53 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
42 can be fit into 53 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtract 42 from 53 to get 11.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 118 / 42

On to step 4:
When dividing 118 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 212.0
Deduct 84 from 118 and we're left with 34.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 348 / 42

Step 5:
348 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2128.0
If we subtract 336 from 348, we get 12.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 127 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 127 3 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21283.0
If we take 126 away from 127, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21283.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 100 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21283.02
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 84 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
42 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21283.023
If we subtract 126 from 160, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 340 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 21283.0238
If we subtract 336 from 340, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
40 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21283.0238
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left 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 12:
If we divide 400 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21283.023809
Subtracting 378 from 400 leaves us 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 13:
The number 42 fits into 220 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21283.0238095
If we subtract 210 from 220, we 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.

Step 14:
42 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21283.02380952
Subtract 84 from 100 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 21283.02380952 and a remainder of 1.6e-08.
