550806 ÷ 42 
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 550806.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 55 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 55 1 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 42 away from 55, we end up with 13.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 130 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 130 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we take 126 away from 130, we end up with 4.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 48 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
42 can be fit into 48 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 131.0
Subtracting 42 from 48 leaves us with 6.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 60 / 42

On to step 5:
When dividing 60 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1311.0
Subtract 42 from 60 to get 18.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 186 / 42

Step 6:
If we divide 186 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 13114.0
Deduct 168 from 186 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 180 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13114.4
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.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 120 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 13114.42
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.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 42 fits into 360 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13114.428
Subtracting 336 from 360 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 10:
42 can be fit into 240 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 13114.4285
If we take 210 away from 240, 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.

Moving on to step 11:
300 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 6.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13114.42857
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
42 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 18.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13114.428571
Deduct 42 from 60 and we're left 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 13:
If we divide 180 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 13114.4285714
Deduct 168 from 180 and we're left 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.

Step 14:
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: 13114.42857142
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 13114.42857142 with a balance of 3.6e-08.
