Let's divide 591418 by 42
We want to figure out the number of times 591418 can be divided by 42.

Going ahead to step 1:
5 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 59 / 42

Let's proceed 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
Subtract 42 from 59 to get 17.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 171 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 171 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 168 from 171.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 34 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 34 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 34.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 140.0
Deduct 0 from 34 and we're left with 34.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 341 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 341 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 5.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1408.0
If we take 336 away from 341, we end up with 5.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 58 / 42

On to step 6:
When dividing 58 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14081.0
If we subtract 42 from 58, we 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.

Moving on to step 7:
160 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 14081.3
If we subtract 126 from 160, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 8:
42 goes into 340 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14081.38
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.

Step 9:
If we divide 40 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14081.38
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.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 400 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 22.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14081.3809
Subtract 378 from 400 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 11:
42 can be fit into 220 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14081.38095
Deduct 210 from 220 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 100 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 14081.380952
If we subtract 84 from 100, we 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.

On to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14081.3809523
Subtract 126 from 160 to get 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 14:
When dividing 340 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14081.38095238
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.

The quotient of the division is 14081.38095238, and the remainder is 4e-09.
