We look at the division of 609286 by 42 
Our goal is to divide 609286 by 42.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 6 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 60 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 60 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 42 from 60 to get 18.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 189 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 189 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 21.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14.0
Deduct 168 from 189 and we're left with 21.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 212 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
The number 42 fits into 212 5 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 145.0
Subtract 210 from 212 to get 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 28 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1450.0
If we take 0 away from 28, we end up with 28.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 286 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
42 goes into 286 6 times with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 14506.0
Subtracting 252 from 286 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 340 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14506.8
Deduct 336 from 340 and we're left 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 8:
If we divide 40 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14506.8
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 9:
42 goes into 400 9 times with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14506.809
Subtract 378 from 400 to get 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 10:
If we divide 220 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14506.8095
If we take 210 away from 220, we end up 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.

On to step 11:
If we divide 100 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14506.80952
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.

Moving on to step 12:
42 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14506.809523
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.

On to step 13:
If we divide 340 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14506.8095238
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 14:
40 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14506.8095238
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.

Our division results in 14506.8095238 with a remaining 4e-08.
