588405 ÷ 42 
We want to divide 588405 by 42.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 58 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 58 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 42 from 58 and we're left with 16.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 168 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
168 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 0.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14.0
Deduct 168 from 168 and we're left with 0.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 4 / 42

On to step 4:
The number 42 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 140.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 40 / 42

Step 5:
42 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1400.0
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 405 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
42 can be fit into 405 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 14009.0
Subtracting 378 from 405 leaves us with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
42 can be fit into 270 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14009.6
Deduct 252 from 270 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 180 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 12.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14009.64
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 168 from 180.
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 9:
42 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14009.642
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 84 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 42 fits into 360 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14009.6428
Deduct 336 from 360 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 11:
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: 14009.64285
Deduct 210 from 240 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
300 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14009.642857
Deduct 294 from 300 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 13:
42 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 14009.6428571
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.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 180 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 14009.64285714
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 168 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Our division results in 14009.64285714 with a remaining 1.2e-08.
