We divide 966278 by 42
We want to figure out the number of times 966278 can be divided by 42.

Moving on to step 1:
42 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 96 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
96 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 12.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 84 away from 96, we end up with 12.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 126 / 42

On to step 3:
If we divide 126 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 0.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23.0
Deduct 126 from 126 and we're left with 0.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 2 / 42

Step 4:
2 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 230.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
27 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2300.0
Deduct 0 from 27 and we're left with 27.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 278 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
42 can be fit into 278 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23006.0
Subtracting 252 from 278 leaves us 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 7:
If we divide 260 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23006.6
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.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 80 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 38.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23006.61
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
42 goes into 380 9 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23006.619
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.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 20 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23006.619
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
42 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23006.61904
Deduct 168 from 200 and we're left 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.

Step 12:
If we divide 320 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 26.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23006.619047
If we subtract 294 from 320, we 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.

Moving on to step 13:
42 can be fit into 260 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 23006.6190476
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 14:
42 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 38.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23006.61904761
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 42 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 23006.61904761 and a remainder of 3.8e-08.
