Let's divide 58387290 by 42
We want to divide 58387290 by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 58 / 42

On to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 58 1 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 42 from 58 leaves us with 16.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 163 / 42

On to step 3:
42 can be fit into 163 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtracting 126 from 163 leaves us with 37.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 37 and continue: 378 / 42

On to step 4:
The number 42 fits into 378 9 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 139.0
If we subtract 378 from 378, we get 0.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 7 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
42 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1390.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 72 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
42 can be fit into 72 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13901.0
Subtracting 42 from 72 leaves us with 30.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 309 / 42

On to step 7:
42 can be fit into 309 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 139017.0
Subtracting 294 from 309 leaves us with 15.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 150 / 42

Advancing to step 8:
The number 42 fits into 150 3 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1390173.0
Subtract 126 from 150 to 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.

Advancing to step 9:
42 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1390173.5
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.

Step 10:
42 can be fit into 300 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1390173.57
Subtract 294 from 300 to 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 11:
If we divide 60 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 18.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1390173.571
If we subtract 42 from 60, we get 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 12:
180 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1390173.5714
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 13:
If we divide 120 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 36.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1390173.57142
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 360 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 24.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1390173.571428
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.

Going ahead to step 15:
42 can be fit into 240 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1390173.5714285
If we subtract 210 from 240, we 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.

Advancing to step 16:
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: 1390173.57142857
If we take 294 away from 300, we end up 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.

The quotient of the division is 1390173.57142857, and the remainder is 6e-09.
