We're dividing 624485 by 42 
We want to divide 624485 by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 6 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 62 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
42 can be fit into 62 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 42 from 62 to get 20.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 204 / 42

Step 3:
42 goes into 204 4 times with a remainder of 36.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we subtract 168 from 204, we get 36.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 36, then repeat: 364 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
42 can be fit into 364 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 148.0
If we take 336 away from 364, we end up with 28.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 288 / 42

On to step 5:
288 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 36.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1486.0
If we take 252 away from 288, we end up with 36.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 36, then repeat: 365 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
42 goes into 365 8 times with a remainder of 29.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14868.0
Subtracting 336 from 365 leaves us with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
42 can be fit into 290 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 14868.6
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 252 from 290.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 380 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14868.69
Subtract 378 from 380 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 42 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14868.69
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 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 10:
The number 42 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14868.6904
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.

Step 11:
The number 42 fits into 320 7 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 14868.69047
Subtract 294 from 320 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
260 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14868.690476
Deduct 252 from 260 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14868.6904761
Subtracting 42 from 80 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
42 goes into 380 9 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14868.69047619
Subtract 378 from 380 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Our division results in 14868.69047619 with a remaining 2e-09.
