975286 divided by 42 
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 975286.

Advancing to step 1:
42 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 97 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
97 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 84 from 97, we get 13.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 135 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 135 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23.0
If we subtract 126 from 135, we get 9.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 92 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 92 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 232.0
Deduct 84 from 92 and we're left with 8.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 88 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 88 2 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2322.0
If we subtract 84 from 88, we get 4.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 46 / 42

On to step 6:
When dividing 46 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 4.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23221.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 42 from 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
42 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23221.0
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
42 can be fit into 400 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23221.09
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
220 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23221.095
Deduct 210 from 220 and we're left with 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 10:
If we divide 100 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23221.0952
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 11:
When dividing 160 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23221.09523
If we subtract 126 from 160, we 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.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 42 fits into 340 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 23221.095238
Subtract 336 from 340 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
40 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23221.095238
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 400 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 22.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23221.09523809
If we subtract 378 from 400, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Our division results in 23221.09523809 with a remaining 2.2e-08.
