615908 ÷ 42 
We want to figure out the number of times 615908 can be divided by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 6 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 6, we end up with 6.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 61 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 61 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 19.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 42 from 61 leaves us with 19.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 195 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 195 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 27.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtract 168 from 195 to get 27.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 279 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
42 can be fit into 279 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 146.0
Subtracting 252 from 279 leaves us with 27.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 270 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
42 goes into 270 6 times with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1466.0
Subtract 252 from 270 to get 18.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 188 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 188 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 14664.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 168 from 188.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
42 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14664.4
Deduct 168 from 200 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
320 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 26.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14664.47
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 294 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 9:
42 goes into 260 6 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14664.476
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 252 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 42 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14664.4761
Subtracting 42 from 80 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 42 fits into 380 9 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14664.47619
Deduct 378 from 380 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
42 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14664.47619
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 200 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14664.4761904
If we take 168 away from 200, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 42 fits into 320 7 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14664.47619047
Deduct 294 from 320 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Our division results in 14664.47619047 with a remaining 2.6e-08.
