We divide 42984 by 7
We want to divide 42984 by 7.

On to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 7, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 42 / 7

Moving on to step 2:
The number 7 fits into 42 6 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 42 from 42.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 9 / 7

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 9 by 7, we get 1 with a remainder of 2.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 61.0
If we subtract 7 from 9, we get 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 7

Advancing to step 4:
The number 7 fits into 28 4 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 614.0
Deduct 28 from 28 and we're left with 0.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 4 / 7

Advancing to step 5:
7 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6140.0
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 6:
When dividing 40 by 7, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 6140.5
Subtract 35 from 40 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
50 divided by 7 is 7 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6140.57
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 49 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
7 goes into 10 1 times with a remainder of 3.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6140.571
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 7 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
7 goes into 30 4 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 6140.5714
If we take 28 away from 30, we end up 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.

On to step 10:
7 goes into 20 2 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6140.57142
Subtract 14 from 20 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 7 fits into 60 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6140.571428
Subtract 56 from 60 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.

On to step 12:
7 can be fit into 40 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6140.5714285
Subtract 35 from 40 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 50 by 7, we get 7 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 6140.57142857
If we subtract 49 from 50, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 6140.57142857, and the remainder is 1e-09.
