Let's divide 58846 by 42
We want to divide 58846 by 42.

Going ahead to step 1:
42 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 58 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 58 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 42 from 58 to get 16.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 168 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 168 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 0.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we take 168 away from 168, we end up with 0.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 4 / 42

Step 4:
When dividing 4 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 140.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 46 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
42 can be fit into 46 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1401.0
If we take 42 away from 46, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
42 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1401.0
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
400 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 22.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1401.09
Subtracting 378 from 400 leaves us 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.

Step 8:
42 can be fit into 220 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1401.095
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
100 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1401.0952
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.

Advancing to step 10:
42 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1401.09523
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:
If we divide 340 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1401.095238
Subtracting 336 from 340 leaves us with 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:
If we divide 40 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1401.095238
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 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 13:
If we divide 400 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 22.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1401.09523809
Subtract 378 from 400 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 1401.09523809, and the remainder is 2.2e-08.
