We look at the division of 641504 by 42 
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 641504.

Let's proceed to step 1:
6 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 64 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 64 1 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 42 from 64 to get 22.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 221 / 42

On to step 3:
When dividing 221 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 11.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtracting 210 from 221 leaves us with 11.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 115 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 115 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 152.0
If we take 84 away from 115, we end up with 31.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 310 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 310 7 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1527.0
If we subtract 294 from 310, we get 16.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 164 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 164 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 15273.0
Subtracting 126 from 164 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 7:
42 goes into 380 9 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15273.9
If we subtract 378 from 380, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
42 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15273.9
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 200 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15273.904
If we subtract 168 from 200, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 10:
320 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 15273.9047
If we take 294 away from 320, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
260 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15273.90476
If we subtract 252 from 260, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
80 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 15273.904761
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 42 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
380 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15273.9047619
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 378 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
42 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15273.9047619
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 15273.9047619, and the remainder is 2e-08.
