59261 divided by 42 
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 59261.

Let's proceed to step 1:
5 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 59 / 42

On to step 2:
42 goes into 59 1 times with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 42 from 59 to get 17.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 172 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 172 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 4.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtract 168 from 172 to get 4.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 46 / 42

Step 4:
If we divide 46 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 4.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 141.0
Deduct 42 from 46 and we're left with 4.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 41 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
41 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 41.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1410.0
If we take 0 away from 41, we end up with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
If we divide 410 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 32.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1410.9
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 378 from 410.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 7:
42 goes into 320 7 times with a remainder of 26.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1410.97
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 8:
If we divide 260 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1410.976
Deduct 252 from 260 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
80 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1410.9761
Subtracting 42 from 80 leaves us 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 10:
If we divide 380 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1410.97619
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.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 20 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1410.97619
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 42 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1410.9761904
If we subtract 168 from 200, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 320 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1410.97619047
Subtracting 294 from 320 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 1410.97619047 with a balance of 2.6e-08.
