We look at the division of 982116 by 42 
We want to divide 982116 by 42.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 98 / 42

Step 2:
If we divide 98 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 84 from 98, we get 14.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 142 / 42

On to step 3:
142 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 23.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 126 from 142.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 161 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 161 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 35.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 233.0
Deduct 126 from 161 and we're left with 35.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 35 and repeat the process: 351 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
42 goes into 351 8 times with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2338.0
Deduct 336 from 351 and we're left with 15.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 156 / 42

On to step 6:
When dividing 156 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23383.0
If we subtract 126 from 156, we 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 300 7 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23383.7
Subtracting 294 from 300 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
60 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 18.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23383.71
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 180 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 23383.714
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.

Moving on to step 10:
42 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 23383.7142
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.

On to step 11:
If we divide 360 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23383.71428
If we subtract 336 from 360, we get 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 12:
42 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 23383.714285
Deduct 210 from 240 and we're left 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.

Step 13:
300 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 6.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23383.7142857
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 60 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23383.71428571
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 42 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Our division results in 23383.71428571 with a remaining 1.8e-08.
