Let's divide 972247 by 42
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 972247.

On to step 1:
9 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 97 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 97 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 13.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 84 from 97 and we're left with 13.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 132 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 132 3 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23.0
Subtract 126 from 132 to get 6.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 62 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 62 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 20.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 231.0
Subtract 42 from 62 to get 20.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 204 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 204 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 36.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2314.0
If we take 168 away from 204, we end up with 36.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 367 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 367 8 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23148.0
Subtracting 336 from 367 leaves us with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 310 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 16.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23148.7
If we subtract 294 from 310, we 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.

Moving on to step 8:
42 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23148.73
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 126 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
42 goes into 340 8 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 23148.738
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 10:
42 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23148.738
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
400 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 22.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23148.73809
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
42 can be fit into 220 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23148.738095
Subtracting 210 from 220 leaves us 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.

On to step 13:
42 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23148.7380952
If we subtract 84 from 100, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
42 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 23148.73809523
If we take 126 away from 160, we end up 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.

The quotient of the division is 23148.73809523, and the remainder is 3.4e-08.
