We're dividing 57940 by 42 
We want to divide 57940 by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
5 divided by 42 is 0 with 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.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 57 / 42

Step 2:
57 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 42 from 57 and we're left with 15.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 159 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 159 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 33.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtract 126 from 159 to get 33.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 33 and repeat the process: 334 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
42 can be fit into 334 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 137.0
Deduct 294 from 334 and we're left with 40.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 400 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
400 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 22.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1379.0
Subtract 378 from 400 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
When dividing 220 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1379.5
Deduct 210 from 220 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 100 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1379.52
Deduct 84 from 100 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 160 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1379.523
If we take 126 away from 160, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
42 can be fit into 340 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1379.5238
Subtract 336 from 340 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
42 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1379.5238
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
42 can be fit into 400 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1379.523809
If we take 378 away from 400, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
42 can be fit into 220 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1379.5238095
If we subtract 210 from 220, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
42 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1379.52380952
If we subtract 84 from 100, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Our division results in 1379.52380952 with a remaining 1.6e-08.
