We're dividing 514869 by 42 
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 514869.

Going ahead 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.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 51 / 42

On to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 51 1 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 42 from 51 to get 9.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 94 / 42

On to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 94 2 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 84 from 94.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 108 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 108 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 122.0
Deduct 84 from 108 and we're left with 24.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 246 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
42 can be fit into 246 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1225.0
If we subtract 210 from 246, we get 36.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 369 / 42

On to step 6:
42 goes into 369 8 times with a remainder of 33.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12258.0
Deduct 336 from 369 and we're left with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 330 7 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12258.7
If we take 294 away from 330, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 360 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12258.78
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 336 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
240 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 12258.785
Deduct 210 from 240 and we're left 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 10:
If we divide 300 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 12258.7857
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.

Advancing to step 11:
42 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12258.78571
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 180 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12258.785714
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 168 from 180.
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 13:
The number 42 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12258.7857142
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 14:
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: 12258.78571428
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 336 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Our division results in 12258.78571428 with a remaining 2.4e-08.
