Let's divide 24530 by 42
We want to figure out the number of times 24530 can be divided by 42.

Step 1:
If we divide 2 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 42

On to step 2:
24 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 24.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 0 from 24.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 245 / 42

On to step 3:
42 goes into 245 5 times with a remainder of 35.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 210 from 245, we get 35.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 35, then carry on: 353 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 42 fits into 353 8 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 58.0
If we subtract 336 from 353, we get 17.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 170 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
42 can be fit into 170 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 584.0
If we take 168 away from 170, 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.

Step 6:
If we divide 20 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 584.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
42 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 584.04
Deduct 168 from 200 and we're left 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.

Step 8:
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: 584.047
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
42 goes into 260 6 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 584.0476
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 10:
42 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 584.04761
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.

Step 11:
380 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 584.047619
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 42 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 584.047619
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 584.04761904
If we take 168 away from 200, we end up 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.

Our division results in 584.04761904 with a remaining 3.2e-08.
