We divide 586316 by 42
Our goal is to divide 586316 by 42.

Going ahead to step 1:
5 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 58 / 42

Advancing 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
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 42 from 58.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 166 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 166 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 40.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtract 126 from 166 to get 40.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 403 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 42 fits into 403 9 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 139.0
If we take 378 away from 403, we end up with 25.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 251 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
251 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1395.0
If we subtract 210 from 251, we get 41.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 41 and continue: 416 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 416 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 38.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13959.0
If we take 378 away from 416, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
380 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13959.9
If we take 378 away from 380, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 20 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13959.9
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left 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.

On to step 9:
42 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13959.904
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 320 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13959.9047
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.

Moving on to step 11:
260 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13959.90476
Deduct 252 from 260 and we're left 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 12:
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: 13959.904761
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 42 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 380 9 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13959.9047619
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 378 from 380.
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 14:
The number 42 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13959.9047619
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left 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.

Our division results in 13959.9047619 with a remaining 2e-08.
