We divide 961797 by 42
We want to divide 961797 by 42.

Going ahead to step 1:
42 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 96 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 96 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 12.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 84 from 96 to get 12.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 121 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 121 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 22.0
Deduct 84 from 121 and we're left with 37.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 37 and repeat the process: 377 / 42

Step 4:
377 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 41.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 228.0
If we subtract 336 from 377, we get 41.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 41, then repeat: 419 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 419 9 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2289.0
If we take 378 away from 419, we end up with 41.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 41, then repeat: 417 / 42

On to step 6:
When dividing 417 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22899.0
Subtract 378 from 417 to get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 390 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 12.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22899.9
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 378 from 390.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 120 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 22899.92
Deduct 84 from 120 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 360 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22899.928
Deduct 336 from 360 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 240 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22899.9285
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 210 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 11:
42 goes into 300 7 times with a remainder of 6.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22899.92857
If we subtract 294 from 300, we 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.

Moving on to step 12:
42 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 18.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22899.928571
If we take 42 away from 60, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 180 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 22899.9285714
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 168 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
120 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 22899.92857142
Deduct 84 from 120 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Our division results in 22899.92857142 with a remaining 3.6e-08.
