We're dividing 890639 by 42 
Our goal is to divide 890639 by 42.

Moving on to step 1:
42 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 89 / 42

Step 2:
When dividing 89 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 5.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 84 from 89, we get 5.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 50 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
50 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 8.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21.0
Deduct 42 from 50 and we're left with 8.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 86 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
86 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 2.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 212.0
Subtract 84 from 86 to get 2.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 23 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 23 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 23.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2120.0
Subtract 0 from 23 to get 23.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 239 / 42

Step 6:
When dividing 239 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 21205.0
If we subtract 210 from 239, we get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 290 6 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 21205.6
If we subtract 252 from 290, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 380 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 21205.69
Deduct 378 from 380 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 20 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21205.69
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
200 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21205.6904
If we subtract 168 from 200, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
42 goes into 320 7 times with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 21205.69047
If we subtract 294 from 320, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
42 can be fit into 260 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21205.690476
If we take 252 away from 260, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
42 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21205.6904761
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 42 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
42 goes into 380 9 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21205.69047619
If we subtract 378 from 380, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 21205.69047619, and the remainder is 2e-09.
