We look at the division of 689441 by 42 
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 689441.

Step 1:
If we divide 6 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 68 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
68 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 26.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 42 from 68 to get 26.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 269 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
42 goes into 269 6 times with a remainder of 17.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we subtract 252 from 269, we get 17.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 174 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
174 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 164.0
If we subtract 168 from 174, we get 6.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 64 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 64 1 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1641.0
Subtracting 42 from 64 leaves us with 22.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 221 / 42

Step 6:
42 can be fit into 221 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 16415.0
Deduct 210 from 221 and we're left with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 110 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16415.2
If we subtract 84 from 110, we get 26.
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 8:
42 can be fit into 260 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16415.26
If we subtract 252 from 260, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
80 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 38.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16415.261
Subtracting 42 from 80 leaves us 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:
The number 42 fits into 380 9 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16415.2619
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.

Moving on to step 11:
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: 16415.2619
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up 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 12:
If we divide 200 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16415.261904
Subtracting 168 from 200 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 320 7 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16415.2619047
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.

Moving on to step 14:
260 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16415.26190476
Subtract 252 from 260 to get 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 quotient of the division is 16415.26190476, and the remainder is 8e-09.
