597038 ÷ 42 
We want to figure out the number of times 597038 can be divided by 42.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 59 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 59 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 17.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 42 away from 59, we end up with 17.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 177 / 42

On to step 3:
42 goes into 177 4 times with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtract 168 from 177 to get 9.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 90 / 42

On to step 4:
When dividing 90 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 142.0
Subtract 84 from 90 to get 6.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 63 / 42

Step 5:
42 goes into 63 1 times with a remainder of 21.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1421.0
Subtract 42 from 63 to get 21.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 218 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
42 can be fit into 218 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14215.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 210 from 218.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 80 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 14215.1
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.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 380 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 2.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14215.19
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
42 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14215.19
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.

Step 10:
The number 42 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14215.1904
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
320 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14215.19047
Subtracting 294 from 320 leaves us 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 12:
The number 42 fits into 260 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 14215.190476
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.

On to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 14215.1904761
Subtract 42 from 80 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 42 fits into 380 9 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 14215.19047619
Subtract 378 from 380 to 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 14215.19047619 with a balance of 2e-09.
