We're dividing 992814 by 42 
Our goal is to divide 992814 by 42.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 99 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 99 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 15.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 84 from 99.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 152 / 42

Step 3:
42 goes into 152 3 times with a remainder of 26.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23.0
If we subtract 126 from 152, we get 26.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 268 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
The number 42 fits into 268 6 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 236.0
If we subtract 252 from 268, we get 16.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 161 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 161 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2363.0
Subtracting 126 from 161 leaves us with 35.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 35, then repeat: 354 / 42

On to step 6:
354 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23638.0
Deduct 336 from 354 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
42 can be fit into 180 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23638.4
If we take 168 away from 180, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 42 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23638.42
Subtracting 84 from 120 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
42 can be fit into 360 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23638.428
Subtracting 336 from 360 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
42 can be fit into 240 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23638.4285
If we take 210 away from 240, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 300 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 6.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23638.42857
If we take 294 away from 300, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
42 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 23638.428571
If we take 42 away from 60, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 180 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23638.4285714
Subtract 168 from 180 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
42 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 36.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23638.42857142
If we subtract 84 from 120, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 23638.42857142 and a remainder of 3.6e-08.
