We divide 616773 by 42
We want to divide 616773 by 42.

Step 1:
The number 42 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 61 / 42

On to step 2:
61 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 42 from 61, we get 19.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 196 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 196 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtract 168 from 196 to get 28.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 287 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 287 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 35.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 146.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 252 from 287.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 357 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 357 8 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1468.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 336 from 357.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 213 / 42

On to step 6:
If we divide 213 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14685.0
If we take 210 away from 213, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 30 0 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14685.0
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 42 fits into 300 7 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14685.07
Subtracting 294 from 300 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 60 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 18.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14685.071
If we take 42 away from 60, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 42 fits into 180 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14685.0714
Subtracting 168 from 180 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 120 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 36.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14685.07142
If we subtract 84 from 120, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 42 fits into 360 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14685.071428
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 336 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
42 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 14685.0714285
If we take 210 away from 240, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 300 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 14685.07142857
If we take 294 away from 300, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 14685.07142857 and a remainder of 6e-09.
