We're dividing 173594 by 42 
Our goal is to divide 173594 by 42.

Going ahead to step 1:
42 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 17 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 17.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 0 from 17.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 173 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
173 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 168 from 173.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 55 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 42 fits into 55 1 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 41.0
Subtracting 42 from 55 leaves us with 13.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 139 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
42 can be fit into 139 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 413.0
Subtracting 126 from 139 leaves us with 13.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 134 / 42

Step 6:
42 can be fit into 134 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4133.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 126 from 134.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 80 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 38.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4133.1
Deduct 42 from 80 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 380 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 4133.19
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.

Step 9:
When dividing 20 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4133.19
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 200 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4133.1904
Subtract 168 from 200 to 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.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 320 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4133.19047
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.

Step 12:
The number 42 fits into 260 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4133.190476
If we take 252 away from 260, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
80 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 38.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4133.1904761
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 42 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 14:
42 goes into 380 9 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4133.19047619
If we subtract 378 from 380, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 4133.19047619, and the remainder is 2e-09.
