We divide 679138 by 42
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 679138.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 6 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 6, we end up with 6.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 67 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
42 goes into 67 1 times with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 42 from 67, we get 25.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 259 / 42

Step 3:
When dividing 259 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 7.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Deduct 252 from 259 and we're left with 7.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 71 / 42

Step 4:
When dividing 71 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 161.0
Deduct 42 from 71 and we're left with 29.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 293 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
42 can be fit into 293 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1616.0
Subtract 252 from 293 to get 41.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 41 and continue with: 418 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 418 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 40.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16169.0
If we take 378 away from 418, 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
42 can be fit into 400 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16169.9
If we take 378 away from 400, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 8:
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: 16169.95
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.

Moving on to step 9:
42 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16169.952
Deduct 84 from 100 and we're left 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 10:
42 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 34.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16169.9523
Deduct 126 from 160 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
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: 16169.95238
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 336 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 12:
42 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16169.95238
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.

On to step 13:
42 goes into 400 9 times with a remainder of 22.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16169.9523809
If we take 378 away from 400, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 42 fits into 220 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16169.95238095
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 210 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 16169.95238095, and the remainder is 1e-08.
