We divide 408892 by 42
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 408892.

On to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 40 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
40 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 408 / 42

On to step 3:
42 can be fit into 408 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtracting 378 from 408 leaves us with 30.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 308 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
42 goes into 308 7 times with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 97.0
If we subtract 294 from 308, we get 14.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 149 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
42 goes into 149 3 times with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 973.0
Deduct 126 from 149 and we're left with 23.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 232 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 232 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 22.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9735.0
If we take 210 away from 232, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 220 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9735.5
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 210 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
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: 9735.52
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
42 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 34.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9735.523
If we take 126 away from 160, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
340 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9735.5238
Deduct 336 from 340 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 42 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9735.5238
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 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 12:
400 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9735.523809
Subtracting 378 from 400 leaves us 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.

Step 13:
42 can be fit into 220 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9735.5238095
Deduct 210 from 220 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 14:
42 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9735.52380952
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 84 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Our division results in 9735.52380952 with a remaining 1.6e-08.
