We look at the division of 588552 by 42 
Our goal is to divide 588552 by 42.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 58 / 42

On to step 2:
When dividing 58 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 16.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 42 from 58 to get 16.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 168 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 168 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 0.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtracting 168 from 168 leaves us with 0.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 5 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 5 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 140.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 55 / 42

On to step 5:
55 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1401.0
Subtracting 42 from 55 leaves us with 13.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 132 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
132 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 6.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14013.0
If we subtract 126 from 132, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 7:
42 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 18.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14013.1
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 42 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
42 can be fit into 180 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14013.14
Subtract 168 from 180 to get 12.
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 9:
42 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 14013.142
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
360 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14013.1428
Subtracting 336 from 360 leaves us with 24.
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 11:
42 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 14013.14285
If we take 210 away from 240, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 42 fits into 300 7 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14013.142857
If we subtract 294 from 300, we get 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 13:
When dividing 60 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 14013.1428571
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.

On to step 14:
180 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14013.14285714
Subtract 168 from 180 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 14013.14285714 and a remainder of 1.2e-08.
