Let's divide 916801 by 42
Our goal is to divide 916801 by 42.

Moving on to step 1:
9 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 91 / 42

Step 2:
42 can be fit into 91 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 84 from 91.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 76 / 42

On to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 76 1 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we take 42 away from 76, we end up with 34.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 348 / 42

On to step 4:
The number 42 fits into 348 8 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 218.0
Deduct 336 from 348 and we're left with 12.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 120 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
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: 2182.0
Subtract 84 from 120 to get 36.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 361 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 361 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 25.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21828.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 336 from 361.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
42 goes into 250 5 times with a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21828.5
Subtract 210 from 250 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
400 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 22.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21828.59
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.

Step 9:
If we divide 220 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21828.595
Subtract 210 from 220 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 100 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21828.5952
Subtract 84 from 100 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
160 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 21828.59523
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
340 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21828.595238
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.

On to step 13:
40 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21828.595238
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 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:
The number 42 fits into 400 9 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 21828.59523809
If we take 378 away from 400, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 21828.59523809 and a remainder of 2.2e-08.
