964491 divided by 42 
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 964491.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 96 / 42

On to step 2:
If we divide 96 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 12.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 84 away from 96, we end up with 12.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 124 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
124 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 40.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22.0
Deduct 84 from 124 and we're left with 40.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 404 / 42

Step 4:
When dividing 404 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 26.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 229.0
Subtract 378 from 404 to get 26.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 269 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 269 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2296.0
Subtract 252 from 269 to get 17.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 171 / 42

On to step 6:
171 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 3.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22964.0
Subtracting 168 from 171 leaves us with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 30 0 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22964.0
Subtract 0 from 30 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 300 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 6.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22964.07
If we subtract 294 from 300, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
42 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 18.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22964.071
If we subtract 42 from 60, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
42 goes into 180 4 times with a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22964.0714
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.

Advancing to step 11:
42 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22964.07142
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
42 goes into 360 8 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22964.071428
Deduct 336 from 360 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 240 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22964.0714285
Subtract 210 from 240 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 14:
42 goes into 300 7 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 22964.07142857
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 294 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 22964.07142857 and a remainder of 6e-09.
