659020 divided by 42 
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 659020.

Let's proceed to step 1:
42 can be fit into 6 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 65 / 42

On to step 2:
42 can be fit into 65 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 42 from 65 leaves us with 23.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 239 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 239 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 29.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we take 210 away from 239, we end up with 29.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 290 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
42 can be fit into 290 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 156.0
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 252 from 290.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 382 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 382 9 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1569.0
If we take 378 away from 382, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 40 / 42

On to step 6:
42 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15690.0
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 400 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15690.9
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 378 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 42 fits into 220 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15690.95
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.

Step 9:
If we divide 100 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15690.952
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 10:
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: 15690.9523
Subtracting 126 from 160 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 42 fits into 340 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 15690.95238
Subtract 336 from 340 to get 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 12:
42 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15690.95238
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 400 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 15690.9523809
Deduct 378 from 400 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 42 fits into 220 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15690.95238095
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.

The quotient of the division is 15690.95238095, and the remainder is 1e-08.
