596627 divided by 42 
Our goal is to divide 596627 by 42.

Moving on to step 1:
42 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 59 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 59 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 17.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 42 from 59 and we're left with 17.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 176 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 176 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we take 168 away from 176, we end up with 8.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 86 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 86 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 2.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 142.0
Subtract 84 from 86 to get 2.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 22 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 22 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 22.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1420.0
Subtract 0 from 22 to get 22.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 227 / 42

Step 6:
42 can be fit into 227 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14205.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 210 from 227.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
42 can be fit into 170 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14205.4
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 168 from 170.
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 8:
The number 42 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14205.4
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.

Moving on to step 9:
42 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14205.404
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.

Step 10:
42 can be fit into 320 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14205.4047
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 11:
42 can be fit into 260 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 14205.40476
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 252 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 42 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 14205.404761
Deduct 42 from 80 and we're left 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 13:
When dividing 380 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 2.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14205.4047619
Subtracting 378 from 380 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.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 42 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14205.4047619
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left 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.

After the division, we end up with 14205.4047619 and a remainder of 2e-08.
