Let's divide 659444 by 42
We want to figure out the number of times 659444 can be divided by 42.

Advancing to step 1:
6 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 65 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 65 1 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 42 from 65 to get 23.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 239 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 239 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 29.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we take 210 away from 239, we end up with 29.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 294 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
The number 42 fits into 294 7 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 157.0
If we take 294 away from 294, we end up with 0.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 4 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 4 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1570.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 44 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 44 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 2.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15701.0
Deduct 42 from 44 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 7:
42 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15701.0
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 8:
200 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15701.04
Subtracting 168 from 200 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 320 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15701.047
Subtracting 294 from 320 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
260 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15701.0476
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 11:
If we divide 80 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 38.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15701.04761
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 42 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 12:
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: 15701.047619
Deduct 378 from 380 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 20 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15701.047619
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 200 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 15701.04761904
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.

After the division, we end up with 15701.04761904 and a remainder of 3.2e-08.
