We look at the division of 894481 by 42 
We want to figure out the number of times 894481 can be divided by 42.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 89 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
42 goes into 89 2 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 84 from 89.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 54 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 54 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 12.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we take 42 away from 54, we end up with 12.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 124 / 42

Step 4:
If we divide 124 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 212.0
If we take 84 away from 124, we end up with 40.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 408 / 42

On to step 5:
When dividing 408 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 30.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2129.0
Deduct 378 from 408 and we're left with 30.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 301 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 301 7 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21297.0
Subtracting 294 from 301 leaves us with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 70 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21297.1
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 42 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 280 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 28.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21297.16
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 252 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
42 can be fit into 280 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21297.166
If we take 252 away from 280, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 21297.166 with a balance of 0.0028.
