We divide 889228 by 42
We want to figure out the number of times 889228 can be divided by 42.

Step 1:
42 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 88 / 42

On to step 2:
88 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 84 from 88.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 49 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
42 goes into 49 1 times with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 21.0
Deduct 42 from 49 and we're left with 7.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 72 / 42

On to step 4:
When dividing 72 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 30.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 211.0
Deduct 42 from 72 and we're left with 30.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 302 / 42

On to step 5:
If we divide 302 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 8.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2117.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 294 from 302.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 88 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
42 goes into 88 2 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21172.0
Deduct 84 from 88 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.

Step 7:
If we divide 40 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21172.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 400 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 22.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21172.09
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 378 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 42 fits into 220 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21172.095
If we take 210 away from 220, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
42 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21172.0952
If we subtract 84 from 100, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
42 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 21172.09523
Subtract 126 from 160 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 42 fits into 340 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21172.095238
Subtracting 336 from 340 leaves us 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.

On to step 13:
When dividing 40 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21172.095238
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 400 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 22.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21172.09523809
If we subtract 378 from 400, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 21172.09523809, with a leftover of 2.2e-08.
