Let's divide 594836 by 42
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 594836.

On to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 59 / 42

Step 2:
42 can be fit into 59 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 42 from 59 and we're left with 17.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 174 / 42

Step 3:
174 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 6.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we take 168 away from 174, we end up with 6.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 68 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
42 goes into 68 1 times with a remainder of 26.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 141.0
Subtract 42 from 68 to get 26.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 263 / 42

On to step 5:
When dividing 263 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 11.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1416.0
Subtract 252 from 263 to get 11.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 116 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
42 goes into 116 2 times with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14162.0
If we take 84 away from 116, we end up with 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 7:
42 goes into 320 7 times with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14162.7
Subtract 294 from 320 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
42 goes into 260 6 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14162.76
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 252 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 80 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 38.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14162.761
Subtract 42 from 80 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
380 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14162.7619
If we take 378 away from 380, we end up with 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 11:
42 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14162.7619
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.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 42 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14162.761904
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 168 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
42 goes into 320 7 times with a remainder of 26.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14162.7619047
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 294 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 260 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14162.76190476
Subtracting 252 from 260 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Our division results in 14162.76190476 with a remaining 8e-09.
