Let's divide 852291 by 42
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 852291.

Let's proceed to step 1:
42 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 85 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 85 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 1.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 84 from 85 and we're left with 1.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 12 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
42 can be fit into 12 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20.0
Deduct 0 from 12 and we're left with 12.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 122 / 42

On to step 4:
122 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 38.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 202.0
Deduct 84 from 122 and we're left with 38.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 389 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
389 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 11.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2029.0
Subtract 378 from 389 to get 11.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 111 / 42

Step 6:
42 goes into 111 2 times with a remainder of 27.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20292.0
If we subtract 84 from 111, we get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
42 goes into 270 6 times with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20292.6
If we take 252 away from 270, 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.

Step 8:
When dividing 180 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 20292.64
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 168 from 180.
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 9:
The number 42 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20292.642
Subtracting 84 from 120 leaves us 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.

Step 10:
360 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20292.6428
Deduct 336 from 360 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 11:
240 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20292.64285
Deduct 210 from 240 and we're left with 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 12:
If we divide 300 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 6.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20292.642857
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.

On to step 13:
When dividing 60 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20292.6428571
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.

Moving on to step 14:
42 goes into 180 4 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20292.64285714
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.

Our division results in 20292.64285714 with a remaining 1.2e-08.
