We're dividing 216477 by 42 
Our goal is to divide 216477 by 42.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 21 / 42

On to step 2:
When dividing 21 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 21.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 21 leaves us with 21.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 216 / 42

Step 3:
42 can be fit into 216 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 210 away from 216, we end up with 6.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 64 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 64 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 22.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 51.0
Subtracting 42 from 64 leaves us with 22.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 227 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 227 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 17.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 515.0
Deduct 210 from 227 and we're left with 17.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 177 / 42

Step 6:
When dividing 177 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5154.0
Subtracting 168 from 177 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 90 2 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5154.2
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 84 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
60 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 18.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5154.21
If we subtract 42 from 60, we 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.

On 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: 5154.214
If we subtract 168 from 180, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 120 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 36.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5154.2142
If we subtract 84 from 120, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
360 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5154.21428
Subtracting 336 from 360 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
42 can be fit into 240 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5154.214285
If we subtract 210 from 240, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 13:
300 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 6.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5154.2142857
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.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 60 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 18.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5154.21428571
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 42 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 5154.21428571, and the remainder is 1.8e-08.
