884478 divided by 42 
Our goal is to divide 884478 by 42.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 88 / 42

On to step 2:
42 goes into 88 2 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 84 away from 88, we end up with 4.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 44 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 44 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 2.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtract 42 from 44 to get 2.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 24 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
42 can be fit into 24 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 210.0
Subtracting 0 from 24 leaves us with 24.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 247 / 42

Step 5:
42 goes into 247 5 times with a remainder of 37.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2105.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 210 from 247.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 37 and continue: 378 / 42

Step 6:
If we divide 378 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 0.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21059.0
Deduct 378 from 378 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 7:
42 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21059.0
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
42 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21059.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 21059.0, and the remainder is 0.0.
