Let's divide 681466 by 42
We want to figure out the number of times 681466 can be divided by 42.

Step 1:
When dividing 6 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 6, we end up with 6.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 68 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
68 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 26.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 42 from 68 to get 26.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 261 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 261 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Deduct 252 from 261 and we're left with 9.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 94 / 42

On to step 4:
94 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 162.0
If we take 84 away from 94, we end up with 10.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 106 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
42 can be fit into 106 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1622.0
Subtract 84 from 106 to get 22.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 226 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 226 5 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16225.0
Subtract 210 from 226 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
42 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 16225.3
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 42 fits into 340 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16225.38
If we take 336 away from 340, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 9:
42 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16225.38
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 10:
42 goes into 400 9 times with a remainder of 22.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16225.3809
If we take 378 away from 400, we end up 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 11:
220 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 16225.38095
Subtract 210 from 220 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
100 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16225.380952
Deduct 84 from 100 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
42 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16225.3809523
If we subtract 126 from 160, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
42 can be fit into 340 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16225.38095238
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 336 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Our division results in 16225.38095238 with a remaining 4e-09.
