Let's divide 599023 by 42
We want to figure out the number of times 599023 can be divided by 42.

On 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
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 59 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 59 1 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 42 from 59.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 179 / 42

On to step 3:
179 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 11.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtracting 168 from 179 leaves us with 11.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 110 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
42 can be fit into 110 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 142.0
Subtracting 84 from 110 leaves us with 26.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 262 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
42 goes into 262 6 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1426.0
If we take 252 away from 262, we end up with 10.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 103 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 103 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 19.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14262.0
Deduct 84 from 103 and we're left with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 190 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 22.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14262.4
Subtracting 168 from 190 leaves us 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.

Step 8:
If we divide 220 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14262.45
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.

On to step 9:
42 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14262.452
Subtract 84 from 100 to 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 10:
42 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 34.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14262.4523
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.

Step 11:
340 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14262.45238
Subtracting 336 from 340 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 40 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14262.45238
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us 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 13:
If we divide 400 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14262.4523809
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 378 from 400.
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:
When dividing 220 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14262.45238095
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 14262.45238095 with a balance of 1e-08.
