847744 divided by 42 
Our goal is to divide 847744 by 42.

On to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 84 / 42

Step 2:
42 goes into 84 2 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 84 from 84.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 7 / 42

On to step 3:
7 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 77 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
42 can be fit into 77 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 201.0
Subtract 42 from 77 to get 35.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 35, then carry on: 354 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 354 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2018.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 336 from 354.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 184 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 184 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20184.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 168 from 184.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20184.3
Deduct 126 from 160 and we're left 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.

Step 8:
42 can be fit into 340 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20184.38
Subtracting 336 from 340 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 42 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20184.38
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 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 10:
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: 20184.3809
If we take 378 away from 400, we end up 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.

On to step 11:
220 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20184.38095
If we take 210 away from 220, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
42 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20184.380952
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20184.3809523
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 340 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20184.38095238
Subtracting 336 from 340 leaves us 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.

Our division results in 20184.38095238 with a remaining 4e-09.
