We're dividing 883783 by 42 
Our goal is to divide 883783 by 42.

Step 1:
When dividing 8 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 88 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 88 2 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 84 from 88, we get 4.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 43 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 43 1 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21.0
Deduct 42 from 43 and we're left with 1.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
The number 42 fits into 17 0 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 210.0
Subtracting 0 from 17 leaves us with 17.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 178 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 178 4 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2104.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 168 from 178.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 103 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 103 2 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 21042.0
Subtracting 84 from 103 leaves us with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
42 can be fit into 190 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21042.4
Subtracting 168 from 190 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 42 fits into 220 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21042.45
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 210 from 220.
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 9:
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: 21042.452
If we take 84 away from 100, we end up 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:
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: 21042.4523
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.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 340 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21042.45238
Subtract 336 from 340 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:
42 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21042.45238
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up 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 13:
42 goes into 400 9 times with a remainder of 22.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21042.4523809
Subtracting 378 from 400 leaves us 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.

On to step 14:
When dividing 220 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 21042.45238095
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.

Our division results in 21042.45238095 with a remaining 1e-08.
