589077 ÷ 42 
We want to divide 589077 by 42.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 58 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 58 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 16.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 42 from 58 leaves us with 16.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 169 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
42 goes into 169 4 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we take 168 away from 169, we end up with 1.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 10 / 42

On to step 4:
42 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 140.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 107 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
107 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 23.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1402.0
If we subtract 84 from 107, we get 23.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 237 / 42

On to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 237 5 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14025.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 210 from 237.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 270 6 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14025.6
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 252 from 270.
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 8:
The number 42 fits into 180 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14025.64
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.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 120 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14025.642
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 10:
If we divide 360 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14025.6428
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
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: 14025.64285
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.

On to step 12:
300 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 6.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14025.642857
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14025.6428571
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.

On to step 14:
180 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14025.64285714
Deduct 168 from 180 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 14025.64285714 and a remainder of 1.2e-08.
