210601 divided by 42 
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 210601.

On to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 21 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 21 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 21.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 21 and we're left with 21.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 210 / 42

On to step 3:
42 goes into 210 5 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 210 from 210.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 6 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 6 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 50.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 60 / 42

Step 5:
If we divide 60 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 18.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 501.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 42 from 60.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 181 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
181 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5014.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 168 from 181.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 130 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5014.3
If we subtract 126 from 130, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 40 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5014.3
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 9:
400 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5014.309
Subtracting 378 from 400 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.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 220 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5014.3095
Subtract 210 from 220 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 100 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5014.30952
Subtract 84 from 100 to 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.

Step 12:
160 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 34.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5014.309523
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 126 from 160.
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 13:
340 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5014.3095238
Subtracting 336 from 340 leaves us 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 14:
The number 42 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5014.3095238
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The final result is 5014.3095238 with a remainder of 4e-08.
