Let's divide 939777 by 42
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 939777.

Step 1:
9 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 93 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 93 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 9.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 84 from 93, we get 9.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 99 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 99 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 15.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22.0
Subtracting 84 from 99 leaves us with 15.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 157 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
157 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 31.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 223.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 126 from 157.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 317 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
317 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2237.0
If we take 294 away from 317, we end up with 23.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 237 / 42

On to step 6:
When dividing 237 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 27.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22375.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 210 from 237.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Step 7:
42 can be fit into 270 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22375.6
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 252 from 270.
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 8:
42 goes into 180 4 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 22375.64
Subtracting 168 from 180 leaves us 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.

Step 9:
When dividing 120 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 36.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22375.642
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 10:
When dividing 360 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22375.6428
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 336 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 240 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 22375.64285
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.

Advancing to step 12:
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: 22375.642857
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
42 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 22375.6428571
Deduct 42 from 60 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 14:
180 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22375.64285714
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.

The final outcome is 22375.64285714, with a leftover of 1.2e-08.
