554481 divided by 42 
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 554481.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 55 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 55 1 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 42 away from 55, we end up with 13.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 134 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 134 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 8.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtract 126 from 134 to get 8.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 84 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
84 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 132.0
If we subtract 84 from 84, we get 0.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 8 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1320.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 81 / 42

On to step 6:
81 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 39.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13201.0
Subtracting 42 from 81 leaves us with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
42 goes into 390 9 times with a remainder of 12.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13201.9
If we take 378 away from 390, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
120 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 36.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13201.92
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 84 from 120.
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 9:
360 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13201.928
If we take 336 away from 360, we end up 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 10:
240 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13201.9285
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 210 from 240.
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 11:
42 goes into 300 7 times with a remainder of 6.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13201.92857
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 294 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 42 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 13201.928571
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.

Moving on to step 13:
42 can be fit into 180 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 13201.9285714
If we subtract 168 from 180, we 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 14:
If we divide 120 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13201.92857142
Subtract 84 from 120 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 13201.92857142, and the remainder is 3.6e-08.
