We divide 662468 by 42
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 662468.

On to step 1:
When dividing 6 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 66 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
66 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 24.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 42 from 66 and we're left with 24.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 242 / 42

On to step 3:
If we divide 242 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we take 210 away from 242, we end up with 32.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 324 / 42

Step 4:
If we divide 324 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 30.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 157.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 294 from 324.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 306 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 306 7 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1577.0
Subtract 294 from 306 to get 12.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 128 / 42

On to step 6:
If we divide 128 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 2.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15773.0
Subtracting 126 from 128 leaves us 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 7:
42 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 15773.0
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.

On to step 8:
The number 42 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15773.04
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.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 320 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 15773.047
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.

On to step 10:
42 can be fit into 260 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15773.0476
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.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 80 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15773.04761
If we take 42 away from 80, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 380 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15773.047619
If we take 378 away from 380, 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
42 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15773.047619
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.

On to step 14:
42 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15773.04761904
Subtract 168 from 200 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The final result is 15773.04761904 with a remainder of 3.2e-08.
