We divide 511726 by 42
We want to divide 511726 by 42.

Going ahead to step 1:
42 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 51 / 42

Step 2:
The number 42 fits into 51 1 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 42 from 51.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 91 / 42

Step 3:
91 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 7.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtracting 84 from 91 leaves us with 7.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 77 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
77 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 121.0
Subtract 42 from 77 to get 35.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 35 and repeat the process: 352 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 352 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1218.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 336 from 352.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 166 / 42

Step 6:
42 goes into 166 3 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12183.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 126 from 166.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 400 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12183.9
Subtracting 378 from 400 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 8:
42 can be fit into 220 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12183.95
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.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 100 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12183.952
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.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 160 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 34.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12183.9523
Subtract 126 from 160 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 340 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12183.95238
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.

On to step 12:
When dividing 40 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12183.95238
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left 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.

On to step 13:
42 goes into 400 9 times with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12183.9523809
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
42 goes into 220 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12183.95238095
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.

The quotient of the division is 12183.95238095, and the remainder is 1e-08.
