We're dividing 62877942 by 42 
Our goal is to divide 62877942 by 42.

On to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 6, we end up with 6.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 62 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
42 goes into 62 1 times with a remainder of 20.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 42 from 62 and we're left with 20.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 208 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 208 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtract 168 from 208 to get 40.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 407 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 407 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 149.0
If we subtract 378 from 407, we get 29.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 297 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
42 can be fit into 297 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1497.0
If we subtract 294 from 297, we get 3.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 39 / 42

Step 6:
39 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 39.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14970.0
Subtract 0 from 39 to get 39.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 39 and continue: 394 / 42

Going ahead to step 7:
42 can be fit into 394 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 149709.0
Subtract 378 from 394 to get 16.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 162 / 42

On to step 8:
162 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 36.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1497093.0
If we subtract 126 from 162, 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.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 360 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1497093.8
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 240 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1497093.85
Subtract 210 from 240 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
42 can be fit into 300 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1497093.857
Subtracting 294 from 300 leaves us 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 12:
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: 1497093.8571
If we take 42 away from 60, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
42 can be fit into 180 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1497093.85714
Subtracting 168 from 180 leaves us 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.

On to step 14:
The number 42 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1497093.857142
If we take 84 away from 120, 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.

Advancing to step 15:
42 goes into 360 8 times with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1497093.8571428
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.

On to step 16:
240 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1497093.85714285
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.

After the division, we end up with 1497093.85714285 and a remainder of 3e-08.
