We're dividing 881938 by 42 
We want to figure out the number of times 881938 can be divided by 42.

Step 1:
42 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 88 / 42

Step 2:
88 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 84 from 88 to get 4.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 41 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
42 goes into 41 0 times with a remainder of 41.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20.0
Subtract 0 from 41 to get 41.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 41, then repeat: 419 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
42 goes into 419 9 times with a remainder of 41.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 209.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 378 from 419.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 41, then repeat: 413 / 42

Step 5:
The number 42 fits into 413 9 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2099.0
Subtracting 378 from 413 leaves us with 35.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 35, then carry on: 358 / 42

Step 6:
The number 42 fits into 358 8 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 20998.0
If we subtract 336 from 358, 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.

Advancing to step 7:
42 can be fit into 220 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20998.5
If we subtract 210 from 220, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
100 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20998.52
If we take 84 away from 100, we end up with 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 9:
160 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20998.523
If we subtract 126 from 160, we 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.

Moving on to step 10:
42 goes into 340 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20998.5238
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 336 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
40 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20998.5238
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 12:
42 goes into 400 9 times with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20998.523809
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.

Moving on to step 13:
42 goes into 220 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20998.5238095
Subtracting 210 from 220 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 14:
42 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20998.52380952
Subtracting 84 from 100 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 20998.52380952, with a leftover of 1.6e-08.
