657434 divided by 42 
We want to divide 657434 by 42.

Advancing to step 1:
42 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 65 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
65 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 23.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 42 from 65 to get 23.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 237 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 237 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 27.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtracting 210 from 237 leaves us with 27.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 274 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 274 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 22.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 156.0
If we subtract 252 from 274, we get 22.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 223 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
42 goes into 223 5 times with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1565.0
Subtract 210 from 223 to get 13.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 134 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 134 3 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15653.0
If we subtract 126 from 134, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
42 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 15653.1
Deduct 42 from 80 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 380 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15653.19
If we subtract 378 from 380, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
42 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 15653.19
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 200 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15653.1904
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 168 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
42 goes into 320 7 times with a remainder of 26.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15653.19047
Subtracting 294 from 320 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 42 fits into 260 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15653.190476
If we take 252 away from 260, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 13:
80 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15653.1904761
Subtracting 42 from 80 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 42 fits into 380 9 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15653.19047619
Subtract 378 from 380 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 15653.19047619 with a balance of 2e-09.
