We divide 503736 by 42
Our goal is to divide 503736 by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
42 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 50 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 50 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 8.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 42 from 50 to get 8.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 83 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 83 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 41.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 42 away from 83, we end up with 41.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 41, then carry on: 417 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
417 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 119.0
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 378 from 417.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 39 and continue with: 393 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 393 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1199.0
Subtract 378 from 393 to get 15.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 156 / 42

Step 6:
If we divide 156 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 30.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11993.0
Subtract 126 from 156 to 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 7:
If we divide 300 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11993.7
If we subtract 294 from 300, we 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 8:
60 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11993.71
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 9:
The number 42 fits into 180 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11993.714
Subtract 168 from 180 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 42 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 11993.7142
If we take 84 away from 120, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
42 goes into 360 8 times with a remainder of 24.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11993.71428
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 12:
The number 42 fits into 240 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11993.714285
Subtract 210 from 240 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 300 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 6.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11993.7142857
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.

On to step 14:
60 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 18.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11993.71428571
Subtract 42 from 60 to 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 11993.71428571 with a balance of 1.8e-08.
