We look at the division of 980468 by 42 
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 980468.

Advancing to step 1:
9 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 98 / 42

On to step 2:
98 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 14.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 84 away from 98, we end up with 14.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 140 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 140 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 14.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23.0
Deduct 126 from 140 and we're left with 14.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 144 / 42

Step 4:
The number 42 fits into 144 3 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 233.0
If we take 126 away from 144, we end up with 18.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 186 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 186 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 18.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2334.0
Deduct 168 from 186 and we're left with 18.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 188 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 188 4 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23344.0
Subtract 168 from 188 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23344.4
Subtract 168 from 200 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 42 fits into 320 7 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23344.47
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.

Step 9:
260 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23344.476
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 10:
42 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 38.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23344.4761
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 42 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 380 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23344.47619
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.

On to step 12:
When dividing 20 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23344.47619
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 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 13:
The number 42 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23344.4761904
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 320 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23344.47619047
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 23344.47619047 with a balance of 2.6e-08.
