We're dividing 616289 by 42 
Our goal is to divide 616289 by 42.

On to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 61 / 42

On to step 2:
When dividing 61 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 19.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 42 from 61 to get 19.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 196 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 196 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we take 168 away from 196, we end up with 28.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 282 / 42

On to step 4:
42 can be fit into 282 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 146.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 252 from 282.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 30, then repeat: 308 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 308 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 14.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1467.0
If we take 294 away from 308, we end up with 14.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 149 / 42

Step 6:
When dividing 149 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 23.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14673.0
Subtract 126 from 149 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 230 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 20.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14673.5
Subtracting 210 from 230 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 42 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 14673.54
Subtracting 168 from 200 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.

Step 9:
The number 42 fits into 320 7 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14673.547
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 260 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 14673.5476
If we subtract 252 from 260, we get 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 11:
42 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 38.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14673.54761
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.

On to step 12:
The number 42 fits into 380 9 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14673.547619
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.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14673.547619
If we subtract 0 from 20, we 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.

On to step 14:
42 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14673.54761904
Subtracting 168 from 200 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.

Our division results in 14673.54761904 with a remaining 3.2e-08.
