917905 divided by 42 
We want to figure out the number of times 917905 can be divided by 42.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 91 / 42

Step 2:
The number 42 fits into 91 2 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 84 from 91, we get 7.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 77 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 77 1 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we subtract 42 from 77, we get 35.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 35, then carry on: 359 / 42

Step 4:
The number 42 fits into 359 8 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 218.0
Deduct 336 from 359 and we're left with 23.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 230 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
230 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 20.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2185.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 210 from 230.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 205 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
205 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 37.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21854.0
Deduct 168 from 205 and we're left with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 370 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 34.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21854.8
If we take 336 away from 370, we end up 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.

On to step 8:
42 goes into 340 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21854.88
Deduct 336 from 340 and we're left 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 21854.88 with a balance of 0.004.
