We're dividing 249101 by 42 
Our goal is to divide 249101 by 42.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 24 / 42

On to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 24 0 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 24 to get 24.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 249 / 42

Step 3:
42 can be fit into 249 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 210 from 249.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 39 and continue: 391 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 391 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 13.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 59.0
If we subtract 378 from 391, we get 13.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 130 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 130 3 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 593.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 126 from 130.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 41 / 42

On to step 6:
When dividing 41 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 41.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5930.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 0 from 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 410 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5930.9
If we subtract 378 from 410, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 42 fits into 320 7 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5930.97
Subtract 294 from 320 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
42 can be fit into 260 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5930.976
Subtracting 252 from 260 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
42 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5930.9761
Subtract 42 from 80 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 380 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5930.97619
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 378 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
20 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5930.97619
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
42 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5930.9761904
Deduct 168 from 200 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 14:
42 can be fit into 320 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5930.97619047
Subtract 294 from 320 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 5930.97619047, with a leftover of 2.6e-08.
