We look at the division of 242586 by 58 
We want to figure out the number of times 242586 can be divided by 58.

Let's proceed to step 1:
58 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 24 / 58

Step 2:
58 goes into 24 0 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 0 from 24.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 242 / 58

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 242 by 58, we get 4 and a remainder of 10.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 232 from 242 leaves us with 10.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 105 / 58

Going ahead to step 4:
58 can be fit into 105 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 41.0
If we subtract 58 from 105, we get 47.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 47 and continue: 478 / 58

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 478 by 58, we get 8 and a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 418.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 464 from 478.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 146 / 58

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 146 by 58, we get 2 and a remainder of 30.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4182.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 116 from 146.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 58 fits into 300 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4182.5
Subtract 290 from 300 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 58 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 4182.51
If we subtract 58 from 100, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
58 goes into 420 7 times with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4182.517
If we subtract 406 from 420, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
58 goes into 140 2 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4182.5172
Subtracting 116 from 140 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 11:
58 goes into 240 4 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4182.51724
Subtract 232 from 240 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.

Step 12:
When dividing 80 by 58, we get 1 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4182.517241
Subtracting 58 from 80 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 58 fits into 220 3 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4182.5172413
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 174 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Step 14:
58 can be fit into 460 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4182.51724137
If we subtract 406 from 460, we get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4182.51724137 with a remaining 5.4e-08.
