We look at the division of 983059 by 42 
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 983059.

Step 1:
When dividing 9 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 42

On to step 2:
98 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 84 away from 98, we end up with 14.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 143 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
42 goes into 143 3 times with a remainder of 17.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23.0
If we subtract 126 from 143, we get 17.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 170 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
170 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 234.0
If we subtract 168 from 170, we get 2.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 25 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
42 can be fit into 25 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2340.0
Subtracting 0 from 25 leaves us with 25.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 259 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 259 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23406.0
Subtracting 252 from 259 leaves us with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 70 1 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23406.1
Subtract 42 from 70 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
280 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23406.16
If we take 252 away from 280, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
42 can be fit into 280 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23406.166
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 252 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 23406.166, and the remainder is 0.0028.
