We divide 84979901 by 42
Our goal is to divide 84979901 by 42.

Moving on to step 1:
8 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 84 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 84 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 0.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 84 from 84 leaves us with 0.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 9 / 42

Step 3:
9 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
42 goes into 97 2 times with a remainder of 13.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 202.0
If we take 84 away from 97, we end up with 13.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 139 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 139 3 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2023.0
If we take 126 away from 139, we end up with 13.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 139 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
42 goes into 139 3 times with a remainder of 13.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20233.0
If we take 126 away from 139, we end up with 13.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 130 / 42

Step 7:
42 can be fit into 130 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 202333.0
Subtracting 126 from 130 leaves us with 4.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 41 / 42

On to step 8:
42 goes into 41 0 times with a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2023330.0
Deduct 0 from 41 and we're left with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 42 fits into 410 9 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2023330.9
Subtract 378 from 410 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 10:
42 can be fit into 320 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2023330.97
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.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 260 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2023330.976
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.

Moving on to step 12:
80 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2023330.9761
If we subtract 42 from 80, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 380 9 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2023330.97619
Deduct 378 from 380 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 42 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2023330.97619
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.

Going ahead to step 15:
200 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2023330.9761904
If we take 168 away from 200, we end up 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 16:
42 goes into 320 7 times with a remainder of 26.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2023330.97619047
Subtract 294 from 320 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2023330.97619047 with a balance of 2.6e-08.
