Let's divide 532048 by 42
Our goal is to divide 532048 by 42.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 53 / 42

On to step 2:
When dividing 53 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 42 away from 53, we end up with 11.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 112 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 112 2 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 84 from 112.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 280 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
42 goes into 280 6 times with a remainder of 28.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 126.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 252 from 280.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 284 / 42

Step 5:
The number 42 fits into 284 6 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1266.0
Subtracting 252 from 284 leaves us with 32.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 32, then carry on: 328 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 328 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 34.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12667.0
Subtract 294 from 328 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
42 can be fit into 340 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12667.8
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.

Step 8:
42 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12667.8
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 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:
The number 42 fits into 400 9 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12667.809
If we subtract 378 from 400, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
220 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12667.8095
Subtracting 210 from 220 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 11:
100 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12667.80952
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 84 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
160 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 34.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12667.809523
If we take 126 away from 160, 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
340 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12667.8095238
If we subtract 336 from 340, we 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.

Moving on to step 14:
42 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12667.8095238
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up 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.

After the division, we end up with 12667.8095238 and a remainder of 4e-08.
