We're dividing 69462 by 42 
We want to divide 69462 by 42.

Advancing to step 1:
42 can be fit into 6 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 69 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
42 can be fit into 69 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 42 from 69 leaves us with 27.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 274 / 42

Step 3:
274 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 22.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 252 from 274.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 226 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 226 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 165.0
If we take 210 away from 226, we end up with 16.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 162 / 42

Step 5:
162 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 36.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1653.0
If we take 126 away from 162, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
42 can be fit into 360 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1653.8
Deduct 336 from 360 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 240 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1653.85
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 210 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 300 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 6.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1653.857
If we take 294 away from 300, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 60 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 18.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1653.8571
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 42 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 180 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1653.85714
If we take 168 away from 180, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 120 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1653.857142
Subtract 84 from 120 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 360 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1653.8571428
Subtracting 336 from 360 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
240 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1653.85714285
Deduct 210 from 240 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

The final result is 1653.85714285 with a remainder of 3e-08.
