587266 ÷ 42 
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 587266.

Moving on to step 1:
42 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 58 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
42 can be fit into 58 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 42 from 58 leaves us with 16.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 167 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 167 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 41.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13.0
Deduct 126 from 167 and we're left with 41.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 41, then repeat: 412 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
412 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 139.0
If we take 378 away from 412, we end up with 34.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 346 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
42 goes into 346 8 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1398.0
Subtract 336 from 346 to get 10.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 106 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 106 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 22.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13982.0
Deduct 84 from 106 and we're left 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 7:
220 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 13982.5
Deduct 210 from 220 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
42 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13982.52
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 84 from 100.
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 9:
If we divide 160 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 34.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13982.523
Subtract 126 from 160 to 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.

Advancing to step 10:
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: 13982.5238
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.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 42 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13982.5238
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 400 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 13982.523809
Subtracting 378 from 400 leaves us 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.

Step 13:
220 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13982.5238095
Deduct 210 from 220 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 14:
42 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13982.52380952
If we take 84 away from 100, we end up 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 13982.52380952 with a balance of 1.6e-08.
