501927 divided by 42 
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 501927.

On to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 50 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 50 1 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 42 from 50 leaves us with 8.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 81 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 81 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 39.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 42 away from 81, we end up with 39.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 39 and continue with: 399 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 399 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 21.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 119.0
If we take 378 away from 399, we end up with 21.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 212 / 42

Step 5:
212 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1195.0
Subtract 210 from 212 to get 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 42

Step 6:
If we divide 27 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11950.0
Deduct 0 from 27 and we're left with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 270 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 18.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11950.6
Subtract 252 from 270 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
180 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11950.64
If we take 168 away from 180, 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.

Step 9:
42 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 36.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11950.642
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.

Step 10:
If we divide 360 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11950.6428
Subtract 336 from 360 to 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.

On to step 11:
When dividing 240 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11950.64285
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 12:
When dividing 300 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 11950.642857
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.

Advancing to step 13:
42 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 18.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11950.6428571
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 42 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 14:
42 goes into 180 4 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11950.64285714
If we take 168 away from 180, 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 11950.64285714 with a balance of 1.2e-08.
