We're dividing 62197 by 42 
Our goal is to divide 62197 by 42.

On to step 1:
6 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 62 / 42

Step 2:
The number 42 fits into 62 1 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 42 away from 62, we end up with 20.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 201 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 201 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we subtract 168 from 201, we get 33.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 33 and continue: 339 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
The number 42 fits into 339 8 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 148.0
If we take 336 away from 339, we end up with 3.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 37 / 42

Step 5:
42 goes into 37 0 times with a remainder of 37.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1480.0
If we take 0 away from 37, we end up with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
370 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 34.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1480.8
Deduct 336 from 370 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.

On to step 7:
42 can be fit into 340 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1480.88
If we subtract 336 from 340, we 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.

After the division, we end up with 1480.88 and a remainder of 0.004.
