We look at the division of 554991 by 42 
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 554991.

Going ahead 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.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 55 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 55 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 13.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 42 from 55 leaves us with 13.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 134 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 134 3 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
Deduct 126 from 134 and we're left with 8.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 89 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 89 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 5.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 132.0
If we subtract 84 from 89, we get 5.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 59 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 59 1 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1321.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 42 from 59.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 171 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 171 4 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 13214.0
If we take 168 away from 171, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
42 can be fit into 30 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13214.0
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 300 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 6.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13214.07
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.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 60 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 18.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13214.071
Subtracting 42 from 60 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 42 fits into 180 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13214.0714
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 120 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 36.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13214.07142
Subtracting 84 from 120 leaves us 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 12:
42 can be fit into 360 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13214.071428
If we subtract 336 from 360, we 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.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 240 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13214.0714285
Subtracting 210 from 240 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 300 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 6.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13214.07142857
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.

The quotient of the division is 13214.07142857, and the remainder is 6e-09.
