We divide 951478 by 42
We want to figure out the number of times 951478 can be divided by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 95 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
42 goes into 95 2 times with a remainder of 11.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 84 from 95 leaves us with 11.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 111 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 111 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 27.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22.0
If we subtract 84 from 111, we get 27.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 274 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 274 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 226.0
Deduct 252 from 274 and we're left with 22.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 227 / 42

Step 5:
42 goes into 227 5 times with a remainder of 17.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2265.0
Deduct 210 from 227 and we're left with 17.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 178 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
178 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22654.0
Subtract 168 from 178 to 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
42 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22654.2
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 160 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 34.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22654.23
Subtract 126 from 160 to 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.

Step 9:
When dividing 340 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22654.238
If we take 336 away from 340, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 40 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22654.238
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 400 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 22.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22654.23809
Subtracting 378 from 400 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 220 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22654.238095
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
42 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22654.2380952
Subtract 84 from 100 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 160 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 34.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22654.23809523
Subtracting 126 from 160 leaves us 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.

The final outcome is 22654.23809523, with a leftover of 3.4e-08.
