867427 divided by 42 
We want to divide 867427 by 42.

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.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 86 / 42

Step 2:
86 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 2.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 84 from 86 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 27 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20.0
Subtracting 0 from 27 leaves us with 27.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 274 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 274 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 206.0
Deduct 252 from 274 and we're left with 22.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 222 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
42 can be fit into 222 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2065.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 210 from 222.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 127 / 42

Step 6:
127 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 1.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20653.0
Subtracting 126 from 127 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 10 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20653.0
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 100 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20653.02
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.

Step 9:
If we divide 160 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 20653.023
Deduct 126 from 160 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
340 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20653.0238
If we subtract 336 from 340, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 11:
40 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 20653.0238
If we subtract 0 from 40, we 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.

On to step 12:
42 can be fit into 400 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 20653.023809
If we take 378 away from 400, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
42 goes into 220 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20653.0238095
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 210 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
100 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20653.02380952
If we subtract 84 from 100, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 20653.02380952 and a remainder of 1.6e-08.
