We divide 589059 by 42
We want to figure out the number of times 589059 can be divided by 42.

Going ahead to step 1:
42 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 58 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 58 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 16.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 42 away from 58, we end up with 16.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 169 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 169 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we take 168 away from 169, we end up with 1.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 10 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 42 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 140.0
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left with 10.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 105 / 42

On to step 5:
If we divide 105 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 21.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1402.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 84 from 105.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 219 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 219 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 9.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14025.0
Deduct 210 from 219 and we're left with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
42 goes into 90 2 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14025.2
Subtracting 84 from 90 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 8:
42 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 18.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14025.21
If we subtract 42 from 60, we get 18.
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 9:
If we divide 180 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14025.214
If we subtract 168 from 180, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
42 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 14025.2142
Subtracting 84 from 120 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
360 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14025.21428
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 336 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 42 fits into 240 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14025.214285
Subtract 210 from 240 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
42 can be fit into 300 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14025.2142857
Deduct 294 from 300 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 60 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 18.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14025.21428571
Subtracting 42 from 60 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Our division results in 14025.21428571 with a remaining 1.8e-08.
