Let's divide 842433 by 42
We want to divide 842433 by 42.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 84 / 42

Step 2:
84 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 84 from 84 to get 0.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 2 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 24 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 24 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 24.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 200.0
Subtracting 0 from 24 leaves us with 24.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 243 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 243 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2005.0
Subtracting 210 from 243 leaves us with 33.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 33 and continue: 333 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 333 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 39.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20057.0
If we take 294 away from 333, we end up with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 390 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 12.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20057.9
If we take 378 away from 390, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
42 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20057.92
Deduct 84 from 120 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 360 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 20057.928
If we subtract 336 from 360, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
240 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20057.9285
Subtracting 210 from 240 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 42 fits into 300 7 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20057.92857
If we subtract 294 from 300, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 60 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20057.928571
Subtracting 42 from 60 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 180 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20057.9285714
Subtract 168 from 180 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 14:
42 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20057.92857142
Subtracting 84 from 120 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Our division results in 20057.92857142 with a remaining 3.6e-08.
