We divide 916830 by 42
We want to divide 916830 by 42.

Step 1:
If we divide 9 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 91 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
42 goes into 91 2 times with a remainder of 7.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 84 from 91 to get 7.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 76 / 42

Step 3:
If we divide 76 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 34.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21.0
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 42 from 76.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 34 and continue with: 348 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 42 fits into 348 8 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 218.0
If we subtract 336 from 348, we get 12.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 123 / 42

On to step 5:
If we divide 123 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 39.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2182.0
Subtracting 84 from 123 leaves us with 39.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 39 and repeat the process: 390 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
390 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 12.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21829.0
Subtract 378 from 390 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 120 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 36.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21829.2
Deduct 84 from 120 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
360 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21829.28
If we subtract 336 from 360, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 240 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21829.285
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.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 300 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21829.2857
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.

On to step 11:
When dividing 60 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 21829.28571
Deduct 42 from 60 and we're left 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 12:
The number 42 fits into 180 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21829.285714
Subtracting 168 from 180 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
120 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 36.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21829.2857142
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.

On to step 14:
42 can be fit into 360 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21829.28571428
Subtracting 336 from 360 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Our division results in 21829.28571428 with a remaining 2.4e-08.
