Let's divide 64876 by 42
We want to figure out the number of times 64876 can be divided by 42.

Going ahead to step 1:
42 can be fit into 6 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 64 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 64 1 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 42 from 64, we get 22.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 228 / 42

Step 3:
If we divide 228 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Deduct 210 from 228 and we're left with 18.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 187 / 42

On to step 4:
If we divide 187 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 19.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 154.0
If we subtract 168 from 187, we get 19.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 196 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
42 goes into 196 4 times with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1544.0
Subtract 168 from 196 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
280 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1544.6
Subtract 252 from 280 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 280 6 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1544.66
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 252 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 1544.66, and the remainder is 0.028.
