We're dividing 985223 by 42 
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 985223.

Going ahead to step 1:
42 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 98 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 98 2 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 84 away from 98, we end up with 14.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 145 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 145 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 19.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23.0
Deduct 126 from 145 and we're left with 19.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 192 / 42

On to step 4:
192 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 24.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 234.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 168 from 192.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 242 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 242 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 32.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2345.0
Subtracting 210 from 242 leaves us with 32.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 32, then repeat: 323 / 42

On to step 6:
42 can be fit into 323 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23457.0
Deduct 294 from 323 and we're left with 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:
If we divide 290 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 38.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23457.6
If we take 252 away from 290, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
42 goes into 380 9 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23457.69
Subtract 378 from 380 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
20 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23457.69
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up 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.

Step 10:
When dividing 200 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23457.6904
Deduct 168 from 200 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
42 goes into 320 7 times with a remainder of 26.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23457.69047
Subtract 294 from 320 to 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.

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: 23457.690476
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.

Moving on to step 13:
80 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23457.6904761
If we subtract 42 from 80, 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
42 can be fit into 380 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23457.69047619
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 378 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 23457.69047619 and a remainder of 2e-09.
