Let's divide 990827 by 42
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 990827.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 99 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 99 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 84 from 99 to get 15.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 150 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 150 3 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23.0
If we take 126 away from 150, we end up with 24.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 248 / 42

On to step 4:
If we divide 248 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 38.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 235.0
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 210 from 248.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 38 and continue: 382 / 42

Step 5:
When dividing 382 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 4.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2359.0
Subtract 378 from 382 to get 4.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 47 / 42

Step 6:
42 goes into 47 1 times with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 23591.0
Deduct 42 from 47 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
50 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23591.1
If we subtract 42 from 50, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 80 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 38.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23591.11
Deduct 42 from 80 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Our division results in 23591.11 with a remaining 0.038.
