We divide 875018 by 42
Our goal is to divide 875018 by 42.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 87 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
42 can be fit into 87 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 84 away from 87, we end up with 3.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 35 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 35 0 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20.0
If we subtract 0 from 35, we get 35.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 35, then repeat: 350 / 42

On to step 4:
The number 42 fits into 350 8 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 208.0
Subtract 336 from 350 to get 14.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 141 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 141 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 15.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2083.0
Deduct 126 from 141 and we're left with 15.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 158 / 42

Step 6:
The number 42 fits into 158 3 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20833.0
If we take 126 away from 158, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 320 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 26.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20833.7
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.

On to step 8:
260 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20833.76
If we take 252 away from 260, we end up 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.

Step 9:
42 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20833.761
Subtracting 42 from 80 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 42 fits into 380 9 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 20833.7619
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 378 from 380.
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 11:
When dividing 20 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20833.7619
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 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 12:
200 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20833.761904
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.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 320 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 26.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20833.7619047
If we take 294 away from 320, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
42 can be fit into 260 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20833.76190476
If we take 252 away from 260, we end up 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.

The quotient of the division is 20833.76190476, and the remainder is 8e-09.
