We're dividing 955087 by 42 
We want to divide 955087 by 42.

On to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 95 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 95 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 11.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 84 from 95 leaves us with 11.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 115 / 42

Step 3:
The number 42 fits into 115 2 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22.0
If we take 84 away from 115, we end up with 31.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 310 / 42

Step 4:
42 goes into 310 7 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 227.0
Deduct 294 from 310 and we're left with 16.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 168 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 168 4 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2274.0
Subtract 168 from 168 to get 0.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 7 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 22740.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 70 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 28.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22740.1
If we subtract 42 from 70, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
280 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 28.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22740.16
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 252 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
42 can be fit into 280 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 22740.166
Subtract 252 from 280 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 22740.166, and the remainder is 0.0028.
