We divide 24139982 by 42
Our goal is to divide 24139982 by 42.

Moving on to step 1:
42 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
42 goes into 24 0 times with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 24, we get 24.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 241 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 241 5 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 210 from 241 leaves us with 31.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 313 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 313 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 57.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 294 from 313.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 199 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
42 can be fit into 199 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 574.0
If we take 168 away from 199, we end up with 31.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 319 / 42

Step 6:
42 goes into 319 7 times with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5747.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 294 from 319.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 258 / 42

Going ahead to step 7:
42 can be fit into 258 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 57476.0
Subtracting 252 from 258 leaves us with 6.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 62 / 42

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 62 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 20.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 574761.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 42 from 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
42 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 574761.4
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 10:
When dividing 320 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 26.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 574761.47
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.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 260 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 574761.476
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 80 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 38.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 574761.4761
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.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 380 9 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 574761.47619
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.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 20 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 574761.47619
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 15:
42 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 574761.4761904
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.

Let's proceed to step 16:
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: 574761.47619047
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.

The final outcome is 574761.47619047, with a leftover of 2.6e-08.
