We're dividing 609493 by 42 
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 609493.

Let's proceed to step 1:
42 can be fit into 6 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 60 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 60 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 18.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 42 from 60.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 189 / 42

Step 3:
189 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 21.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we take 168 away from 189, we end up with 21.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 214 / 42

Step 4:
The number 42 fits into 214 5 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 145.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 210 from 214.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 49 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
42 can be fit into 49 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1451.0
If we subtract 42 from 49, we get 7.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 73 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 73 1 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14511.0
If we take 42 away from 73, we end up with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 310 7 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14511.7
Deduct 294 from 310 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
42 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 34.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14511.73
If we subtract 126 from 160, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 42 fits into 340 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14511.738
Deduct 336 from 340 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 40 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 14511.738
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
42 can be fit into 400 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14511.73809
Subtract 378 from 400 to get 22.
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 12:
42 goes into 220 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14511.738095
Deduct 210 from 220 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
42 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14511.7380952
If we subtract 84 from 100, we 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
42 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14511.73809523
If we take 126 away from 160, we end up 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.

The final outcome is 14511.73809523, with a leftover of 3.4e-08.
