We're dividing 842676 by 42 
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 842676.

On to step 1:
8 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 84 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
84 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 84 away from 84, we end up with 0.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 2 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
2 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 26 / 42

On to step 4:
When dividing 26 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 200.0
Subtract 0 from 26 to get 26.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 267 / 42

On to step 5:
267 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2006.0
Subtract 252 from 267 to get 15.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 156 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 156 3 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 20063.0
If we subtract 126 from 156, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 300 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20063.7
Deduct 294 from 300 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 8:
42 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 18.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20063.71
If we take 42 away from 60, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 180 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20063.714
Subtract 168 from 180 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 10:
42 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20063.7142
Subtract 84 from 120 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 360 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 20063.71428
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 336 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 12:
42 can be fit into 240 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 20063.714285
If we subtract 210 from 240, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
300 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 6.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20063.7142857
If we subtract 294 from 300, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 42 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 20063.71428571
Subtracting 42 from 60 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 20063.71428571, with a leftover of 1.8e-08.
