We're dividing 659158 by 42 
We want to divide 659158 by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
6 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 65 / 42

Step 2:
42 can be fit into 65 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 42 away from 65, we end up with 23.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 239 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
42 goes into 239 5 times with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 210 from 239.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 291 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 291 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 39.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 156.0
If we subtract 252 from 291, we get 39.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 39 and repeat the process: 395 / 42

On to step 5:
42 can be fit into 395 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1569.0
Subtract 378 from 395 to get 17.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 178 / 42

On to step 6:
42 can be fit into 178 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15694.0
Subtract 168 from 178 to get 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 7:
When dividing 100 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15694.2
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 84 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 160 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15694.23
If we take 126 away from 160, we end up 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 9:
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: 15694.238
If we subtract 336 from 340, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 42 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15694.238
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
42 can be fit into 400 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 15694.23809
If we subtract 378 from 400, we 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.

On to step 12:
220 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15694.238095
Subtract 210 from 220 to get 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 13:
When dividing 100 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 15694.2380952
If we subtract 84 from 100, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
42 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 15694.23809523
If we subtract 126 from 160, we 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.

The quotient of the division is 15694.23809523, and the remainder is 3.4e-08.
