948872 ÷ 42 
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 948872.

Moving on to step 1:
42 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 94 / 42

On to step 2:
If we divide 94 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 10.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 84 from 94 and we're left with 10.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 108 / 42

Step 3:
The number 42 fits into 108 2 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22.0
Subtract 84 from 108 to get 24.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 248 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
The number 42 fits into 248 5 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 225.0
Subtract 210 from 248 to get 38.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 38, then repeat: 387 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 387 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 9.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2259.0
If we take 378 away from 387, we end up with 9.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 92 / 42

On to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 92 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22592.0
Subtracting 84 from 92 leaves us 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 7:
42 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 38.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22592.1
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
380 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22592.19
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.

Step 9:
20 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22592.19
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 200 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22592.1904
Subtracting 168 from 200 leaves us 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.

On to step 11:
When dividing 320 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 26.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22592.19047
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 294 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
42 can be fit into 260 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22592.190476
Subtract 252 from 260 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
80 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 38.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22592.1904761
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.

Step 14:
380 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22592.19047619
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 22592.19047619 and a remainder of 2e-09.
