968452 ÷ 42 
Our goal is to divide 968452 by 42.

Advancing to step 1:
42 goes into 9 0 times with 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.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 96 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 96 2 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 84 from 96.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 128 / 42

Step 3:
The number 42 fits into 128 3 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 126 from 128.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 24 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
24 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 24.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 230.0
If we subtract 0 from 24, we get 24.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 245 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 245 5 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2305.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 210 from 245.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 35, then carry on: 352 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 352 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23058.0
Deduct 336 from 352 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
42 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23058.3
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.

Step 8:
The number 42 fits into 340 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23058.38
If we subtract 336 from 340, we 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 9:
42 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23058.38
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.

Advancing to step 10:
42 goes into 400 9 times with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23058.3809
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.

Step 11:
When dividing 220 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23058.38095
Subtracting 210 from 220 leaves us 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.

On to step 12:
42 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 23058.380952
If we subtract 84 from 100, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23058.3809523
Subtract 126 from 160 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 340 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23058.38095238
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.

The quotient of the division is 23058.38095238, and the remainder is 4e-09.
