Let's divide 985341 by 42
Our goal is to divide 985341 by 42.

Step 1:
9 divided by 42 is 0 with 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.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 98 / 42

Step 2:
If we divide 98 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 14.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 84 from 98.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 145 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 145 3 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23.0
If we take 126 away from 145, we end up with 19.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 193 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
The number 42 fits into 193 4 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 234.0
Deduct 168 from 193 and we're left with 25.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 254 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 254 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2346.0
If we take 252 away from 254, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 21 / 42

On to step 6:
When dividing 21 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 21.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23460.0
Subtracting 0 from 21 leaves us with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 210 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23460.5
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 210 from 210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
0 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23460.5
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 9:
42 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 23460.5
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 23460.5 and a remainder of 0.0.
