42597426 ÷ 609 
We want to figure out the number of times 42597426 can be divided by 609.

Going ahead to step 1:
609 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 42 / 609

Moving on to step 2:
609 can be fit into 42 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 42 to get 42.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 425 / 609

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 425 by 609, we get 0 and a remainder of 425.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 425, we end up with 425.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 425 and continue with: 4259 / 609

Step 4:
609 can be fit into 4259 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 605.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 3654 from 4259 to get 605.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 605 and repeat the process: 6057 / 609

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 6057 by 609, we get 9 and a remainder of 576.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 69.0
Deduct 5481 from 6057 and we're left with 576.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 576, then carry on: 5764 / 609

Going ahead to step 6:
609 can be fit into 5764 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 283.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 699.0
If we take 5481 away from 5764, we end up with 283.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 283, then carry on: 2832 / 609

Step 7:
The number 609 fits into 2832 4 times, leaving a remainder of 396.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6994.0
The remainder is 396 after subtracting 2436 from 2832.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 396, then repeat: 3966 / 609

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 3966 by 609, we get 6 and a remainder of 312.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 69946.0
Subtract 3654 from 3966 to get 312.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3120, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
609 goes into 3120 5 times with a remainder of 75.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 69946.5
If we subtract 3045 from 3120, we get 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 609 fits into 750 1 times, leaving a remainder of 141.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 69946.51
Deduct 609 from 750 and we're left with 141.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1410, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
1410 divided by 609 is 2 with a remainder of 192.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 69946.512
If we take 1218 away from 1410, we end up with 192.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1920, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
1920 divided by 609 is 3 with a remainder of 93.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 69946.5123
Subtracting 1827 from 1920 leaves us with 93.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 930, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 609 fits into 930 1 times, leaving a remainder of 321.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 69946.51231
If we subtract 609 from 930, we get 321.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3210, and continue the process.

Step 14:
3210 divided by 609 is 5 with a remainder of 165.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 69946.512315
If we subtract 3045 from 3210, we get 165.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1650, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
When dividing 1650 by 609, we get 2 with a remainder of 432.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 69946.5123152
Subtract 1218 from 1650 to get 432.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
609 goes into 4320 7 times with a remainder of 57.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 69946.51231527
If we subtract 4263 from 4320, we get 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 69946.51231527, with a leftover of 5.7e-08.
