Let's divide 590572 by 42
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 590572.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 59 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
42 can be fit into 59 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 42 from 59, we get 17.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 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
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 168 from 170.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 25 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 25 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 25.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 140.0
If we subtract 0 from 25, we get 25.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 257 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
42 goes into 257 6 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1406.0
Subtract 252 from 257 to get 5.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 52 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 52 1 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14061.0
Deduct 42 from 52 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.

Step 7:
When dividing 100 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14061.2
If we take 84 away from 100, we end up with 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 8:
42 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14061.23
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
340 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14061.238
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.

On to step 10:
42 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14061.238
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.

Moving on to step 11:
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: 14061.23809
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 220 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14061.238095
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.

On to step 13:
When dividing 100 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14061.2380952
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.

Step 14:
If we divide 160 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14061.23809523
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.

Our division results in 14061.23809523 with a remaining 3.4e-08.
