976952 divided by 42 
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 976952.

Going ahead to step 1:
42 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 97 / 42

On to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 97 2 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 84 from 97.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 13, then carry on: 136 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
136 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 10.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 126 from 136.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 109 / 42

Step 4:
If we divide 109 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 25.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 232.0
Deduct 84 from 109 and we're left with 25.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 255 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
255 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 3.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2326.0
If we subtract 252 from 255, we get 3.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 32 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 32 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 32.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23260.0
Deduct 0 from 32 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.

Moving on to step 7:
42 goes into 320 7 times with a remainder of 26.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23260.7
Deduct 294 from 320 and we're left 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.

Step 8:
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: 23260.76
If we subtract 252 from 260, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 80 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 38.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23260.761
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
42 can be fit into 380 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23260.7619
If we subtract 378 from 380, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 20 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23260.7619
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.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 200 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 23260.761904
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.

Advancing to step 13:
42 goes into 320 7 times with a remainder of 26.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23260.7619047
Subtracting 294 from 320 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 14:
If we divide 260 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23260.76190476
Deduct 252 from 260 and we're left 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.

Our division results in 23260.76190476 with a remaining 8e-09.
