We divide 895981 by 42
We want to divide 895981 by 42.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 89 / 42

Step 2:
89 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 84 from 89 and we're left with 5.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 55 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
42 can be fit into 55 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we subtract 42 from 55, we get 13.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 139 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
42 can be fit into 139 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 213.0
Subtract 126 from 139 to get 13.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 138 / 42

Step 5:
42 goes into 138 3 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2133.0
If we subtract 126 from 138, we get 12.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 121 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
121 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 37.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21332.0
Deduct 84 from 121 and we're left with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 370 8 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21332.8
If we take 336 away from 370, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
42 goes into 340 8 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21332.88
Deduct 336 from 340 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 21332.88 and a remainder of 0.004.
