We're dividing 404884 by 42 
Our goal is to divide 404884 by 42.

On to step 1:
42 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 40 / 42

Step 2:
The number 42 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 404 / 42

Step 3:
404 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 26.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtract 378 from 404 to get 26.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 268 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 268 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 16.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 96.0
Subtracting 252 from 268 leaves us with 16.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 168 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
42 can be fit into 168 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 964.0
If we take 168 away from 168, we end up with 0.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 4 / 42

On to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 9640.0
Subtract 0 from 4 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 40 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9640.0
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 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.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9640.09
Deduct 378 from 400 and we're left 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.

On to step 9:
The number 42 fits into 220 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9640.095
If we take 210 away from 220, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 100 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9640.0952
If we take 84 away from 100, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 160 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 34.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9640.09523
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.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 340 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9640.095238
If we take 336 away from 340, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 40 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 9640.095238
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 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 14:
42 can be fit into 400 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9640.09523809
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.

After the division, we end up with 9640.09523809 and a remainder of 2.2e-08.
