We're dividing 617476 by 42 
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 617476.

On to step 1:
42 can be fit into 6 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 61 / 42

Advancing 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
If we subtract 42 from 61, we get 19.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 197 / 42

On to step 3:
42 goes into 197 4 times with a remainder of 29.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we take 168 away from 197, we end up with 29.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 294 / 42

Step 4:
294 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 147.0
Subtracting 294 from 294 leaves us with 0.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 7 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 7 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1470.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 76 / 42

On to step 6:
76 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 14701.0
Deduct 42 from 76 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 340 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14701.8
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.

Moving on to step 8:
40 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 14701.8
If we subtract 0 from 40, we 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.

Advancing to step 9:
400 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14701.809
If we subtract 378 from 400, we 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.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 220 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 14701.8095
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.

On to step 11:
42 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14701.80952
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 160 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 14701.809523
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 126 from 160.
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 13:
42 goes into 340 8 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 14701.8095238
Deduct 336 from 340 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
40 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14701.8095238
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.

Our division results in 14701.8095238 with a remaining 4e-08.
