666446 divided by 42 
We want to divide 666446 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
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 66 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
42 can be fit into 66 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 42 from 66.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 246 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 246 5 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtract 210 from 246 to get 36.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 36, then repeat: 364 / 42

On to step 4:
The number 42 fits into 364 8 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 158.0
Deduct 336 from 364 and we're left with 28.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 284 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
42 goes into 284 6 times with a remainder of 32.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1586.0
If we take 252 away from 284, we end up with 32.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 32 and continue: 326 / 42

Step 6:
The number 42 fits into 326 7 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15867.0
Deduct 294 from 326 and we're left with 32.
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 7:
42 goes into 320 7 times with a remainder of 26.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15867.7
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 294 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 260 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15867.76
Subtracting 252 from 260 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
42 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 15867.761
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.

Step 10:
42 can be fit into 380 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15867.7619
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.

Advancing to step 11:
20 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15867.7619
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 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 12:
200 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15867.761904
Subtract 168 from 200 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 320 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 15867.7619047
If we take 294 away from 320, we end up 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 14:
If we divide 260 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15867.76190476
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.

The final result is 15867.76190476 with a remainder of 8e-09.
