Let's divide 52858 by 42
We want to divide 52858 by 42.

Step 1:
42 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 52 / 42

On to step 2:
42 goes into 52 1 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 42 from 52 leaves us with 10.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 108 / 42

Step 3:
42 can be fit into 108 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 84 from 108 to get 24.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 245 / 42

Step 4:
42 goes into 245 5 times with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 125.0
Subtract 210 from 245 to get 35.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 35 and continue: 358 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
358 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1258.0
If we subtract 336 from 358, we 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.

Advancing to step 6:
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: 1258.5
If we subtract 210 from 220, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 100 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1258.52
Subtracting 84 from 100 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 8:
42 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 34.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1258.523
Subtract 126 from 160 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 340 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1258.5238
Deduct 336 from 340 and we're left 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.

On to step 10:
When dividing 40 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1258.5238
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 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 11:
If we divide 400 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 22.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1258.523809
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 378 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
42 goes into 220 5 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1258.5238095
Subtracting 210 from 220 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
100 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1258.52380952
If we subtract 84 from 100, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 1258.52380952 and a remainder of 1.6e-08.
