Let's divide 999388 by 42
We want to divide 999388 by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
42 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 99 / 42

On to step 2:
When dividing 99 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 15.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 84 from 99 leaves us with 15.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 159 / 42

Step 3:
159 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 33.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 126 from 159.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 33 and continue: 333 / 42

Step 4:
333 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 39.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 237.0
Deduct 294 from 333 and we're left with 39.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 39 and repeat the process: 398 / 42

Step 5:
When dividing 398 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 20.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2379.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 378 from 398.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 208 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 208 4 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23794.0
Deduct 168 from 208 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.

Step 7:
400 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23794.9
Deduct 378 from 400 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 220 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23794.95
If we subtract 210 from 220, we get 10.
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 9:
100 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23794.952
Deduct 84 from 100 and we're left 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 10:
160 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23794.9523
Subtracting 126 from 160 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 11:
340 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23794.95238
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.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 40 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 23794.95238
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us 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.

Step 13:
42 goes into 400 9 times with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 23794.9523809
If we take 378 away from 400, 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.

Advancing to step 14:
42 goes into 220 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23794.95238095
If we take 210 away from 220, we end up 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.

After the division, we end up with 23794.95238095 and a remainder of 1e-08.
