Let's divide 667547 by 42
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 667547.

Step 1:
If we divide 6 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 66 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 66 1 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 42 from 66 leaves us with 24.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 247 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
42 can be fit into 247 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Deduct 210 from 247 and we're left with 37.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 375 / 42

Step 4:
The number 42 fits into 375 8 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 158.0
Subtract 336 from 375 to get 39.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 39 and continue: 394 / 42

On to step 5:
If we divide 394 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1589.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 378 from 394.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 167 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 167 3 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15893.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 126 from 167.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 410 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15893.9
Subtracting 378 from 410 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 320 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 26.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15893.97
Subtract 294 from 320 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
42 goes into 260 6 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15893.976
Deduct 252 from 260 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 80 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15893.9761
If we take 42 away from 80, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
42 goes into 380 9 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15893.97619
If we take 378 away from 380, we end up 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:
When dividing 20 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15893.97619
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 200 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15893.9761904
If we subtract 168 from 200, we get 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:
When dividing 320 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15893.97619047
If we take 294 away from 320, we end up 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.

The final result is 15893.97619047 with a remainder of 2.6e-08.
