We look at the division of 601869 by 42 
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 601869.

On to step 1:
6 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 60 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
60 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 42 from 60.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 181 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
181 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 13.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtracting 168 from 181 leaves us with 13.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 138 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 138 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 143.0
Subtract 126 from 138 to get 12.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 126 / 42

On to step 5:
42 can be fit into 126 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1433.0
Deduct 126 from 126 and we're left with 0.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 9 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14330.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
42 can be fit into 90 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14330.2
If we subtract 84 from 90, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
42 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 14330.21
Subtract 42 from 60 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 180 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 14330.214
Subtracting 168 from 180 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 120 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 14330.2142
If we take 84 away from 120, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
42 can be fit into 360 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14330.21428
Deduct 336 from 360 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 240 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14330.214285
Deduct 210 from 240 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
300 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 14330.2142857
If we take 294 away from 300, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 60 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 14330.21428571
Subtracting 42 from 60 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 14330.21428571 and a remainder of 1.8e-08.
