We divide 667231 by 42
We want to figure out the number of times 667231 can be divided by 42.

Step 1:
42 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 66 / 42

On to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 66 1 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 42 from 66 and we're left with 24.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 247 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
247 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 37.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtract 210 from 247 to get 37.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 37 and repeat the process: 372 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
42 goes into 372 8 times with a remainder of 36.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 158.0
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 336 from 372.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 363 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
42 can be fit into 363 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1588.0
If we subtract 336 from 363, we get 27.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 271 / 42

Step 6:
42 goes into 271 6 times with a remainder of 19.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15886.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 252 from 271.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 190 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 22.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15886.4
Subtract 168 from 190 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 8:
42 goes into 220 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15886.45
Subtracting 210 from 220 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 9:
42 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15886.452
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.

Advancing to step 10:
42 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 34.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15886.4523
Deduct 126 from 160 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 11:
42 can be fit into 340 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15886.45238
If we take 336 away from 340, we end up 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.

Step 12:
The number 42 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15886.45238
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
42 can be fit into 400 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15886.4523809
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 14:
220 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15886.45238095
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 210 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 15886.45238095, with a leftover of 1e-08.
