We divide 995783 by 42
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 995783.

Step 1:
The number 42 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 99 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
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: 2.0
If we take 84 away from 99, we end up with 15.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 155 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
155 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 29.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23.0
Subtracting 126 from 155 leaves us with 29.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 297 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
42 goes into 297 7 times with a remainder of 3.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 237.0
Deduct 294 from 297 and we're left with 3.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 38 / 42

Step 5:
The number 42 fits into 38 0 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2370.0
Subtract 0 from 38 to get 38.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 38 and continue: 383 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
42 goes into 383 9 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23709.0
Deduct 378 from 383 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 50 1 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23709.1
Subtract 42 from 50 to 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.

On to step 8:
If we divide 80 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 38.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23709.11
Subtract 42 from 80 to 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.

After the division, we end up with 23709.11 and a remainder of 0.038.
