Let's divide 120532 by 42
We want to figure out the number of times 120532 can be divided by 42.

On to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 12 / 42

Step 2:
42 can be fit into 12 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 12, we end up with 12.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 120 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 120 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 36.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 84 from 120 leaves us with 36.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 36, then repeat: 365 / 42

Step 4:
When dividing 365 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 28.0
Subtracting 336 from 365 leaves us with 29.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 293 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
42 goes into 293 6 times with a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 286.0
If we take 252 away from 293, we end up with 41.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 41, then repeat: 412 / 42

On to step 6:
42 goes into 412 9 times with a remainder of 34.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2869.0
If we take 378 away from 412, 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.

Advancing to step 7:
340 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2869.8
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 8:
The number 42 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2869.8
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
400 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 22.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2869.809
Deduct 378 from 400 and we're left 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 10:
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: 2869.8095
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.

On to step 11:
The number 42 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2869.80952
Subtracting 84 from 100 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 12:
42 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2869.809523
Subtracting 126 from 160 leaves us 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.

Step 13:
If we divide 340 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2869.8095238
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
40 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2869.8095238
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2869.8095238 with a balance of 4e-08.
