We're dividing 59412 by 42 
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 59412.

Going ahead to step 1:
5 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 59 / 42

Step 2:
59 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 17.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 42 from 59 and we're left with 17.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 174 / 42

On to step 3:
42 can be fit into 174 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtracting 168 from 174 leaves us with 6.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 61 / 42

On to step 4:
42 goes into 61 1 times with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 141.0
Deduct 42 from 61 and we're left with 19.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 192 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
192 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1414.0
If we take 168 away from 192, we end up 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 6:
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: 1414.5
Subtracting 210 from 240 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 300 7 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1414.57
Deduct 294 from 300 and we're left 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 8:
The number 42 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1414.571
Deduct 42 from 60 and we're left 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.

On to step 9:
42 can be fit into 180 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1414.5714
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 next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1414.57142
Subtract 84 from 120 to 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.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 360 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1414.571428
If we subtract 336 from 360, we get 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:
42 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1414.5714285
If we take 210 away from 240, we end up 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.

On to step 13:
42 can be fit into 300 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1414.57142857
Subtract 294 from 300 to 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.

The final result is 1414.57142857 with a remainder of 6e-09.
