We're dividing 612397 by 42 
We want to divide 612397 by 42.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 6 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 61 / 42

Step 2:
42 goes into 61 1 times with a remainder of 19.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 42 from 61 leaves us with 19.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 19, then repeat: 192 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
42 goes into 192 4 times with a remainder of 24.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we subtract 168 from 192, we get 24.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 243 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
42 can be fit into 243 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 145.0
If we take 210 away from 243, we end up with 33.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 33, then carry on: 339 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 339 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 3.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1458.0
Subtract 336 from 339 to get 3.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 37 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
42 goes into 37 0 times with a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14580.0
If we take 0 away from 37, we end up with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
42 goes into 370 8 times with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 14580.8
Subtracting 336 from 370 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 340 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 14580.88
Subtract 336 from 340 to 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.

Our division results in 14580.88 with a remaining 0.004.
