We're dividing 59008 by 42 
We want to figure out the number of times 59008 can be divided by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 59 / 42

Step 2:
When dividing 59 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 17.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 42 from 59 leaves us with 17.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 170 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 170 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 2.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we take 168 away from 170, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 20 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
42 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 140.0
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 208 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 208 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1404.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 168 from 208.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
400 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1404.9
Deduct 378 from 400 and we're left 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.

On to step 7:
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: 1404.95
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 100 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1404.952
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 84 from 100.
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 9:
The number 42 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1404.9523
If we take 126 away from 160, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
340 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1404.95238
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.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 40 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1404.95238
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 400 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 22.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1404.9523809
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 220 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1404.95238095
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 1404.95238095, with a leftover of 1e-08.
