We're dividing 608362 by 42 
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 608362.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 6 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 60 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 42 from 60.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 188 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 188 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtracting 168 from 188 leaves us with 20.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 203 / 42

Step 4:
When dividing 203 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 35.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 144.0
Deduct 168 from 203 and we're left with 35.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 35 and repeat the process: 356 / 42

Step 5:
If we divide 356 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 20.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1448.0
If we subtract 336 from 356, we get 20.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 202 / 42

On to step 6:
42 goes into 202 4 times with a remainder of 34.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14484.0
Deduct 168 from 202 and we're left with 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 7:
The number 42 fits into 340 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14484.8
If we take 336 away from 340, we end up 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 8:
The number 42 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 14484.8
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.

Moving on to step 9:
400 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14484.809
Deduct 378 from 400 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 220 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14484.8095
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 210 from 220.
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 11:
42 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14484.80952
Deduct 84 from 100 and we're left 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.

On to step 12:
42 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14484.809523
If we subtract 126 from 160, we 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.

Step 13:
The number 42 fits into 340 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14484.8095238
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 14:
If we divide 40 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14484.8095238
If we subtract 0 from 40, we 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 14484.8095238 with a balance of 4e-08.
