We look at the division of 289439 by 42 
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 289439.

On to step 1:
42 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 28 0 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 28, we end up with 28.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 289 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
42 can be fit into 289 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 252 away from 289, we end up with 37.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 37, then repeat: 374 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 374 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 38.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 68.0
If we take 336 away from 374, we end up with 38.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 383 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 383 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 689.0
Subtract 378 from 383 to get 5.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 59 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
42 goes into 59 1 times with a remainder of 17.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6891.0
Subtracting 42 from 59 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
170 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6891.4
Subtracting 168 from 170 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
20 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6891.4
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 9:
42 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6891.404
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 10:
42 can be fit into 320 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6891.4047
Subtracting 294 from 320 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 42 fits into 260 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6891.40476
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.

Advancing to step 12:
80 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 38.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6891.404761
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 380 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6891.4047619
Deduct 378 from 380 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 42 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6891.4047619
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 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 final outcome is 6891.4047619, with a leftover of 2e-08.
