We divide 549341 by 42
Our goal is to divide 549341 by 42.

Advancing to step 1:
5 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 54 / 42

On to step 2:
42 goes into 54 1 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 42 from 54 to get 12.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 129 / 42

Step 3:
129 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtract 126 from 129 to get 3.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 33 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 33 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 33.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 130.0
Subtracting 0 from 33 leaves us with 33.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 33, then repeat: 334 / 42

Step 5:
334 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1307.0
Subtracting 294 from 334 leaves us with 40.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 401 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 401 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 23.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13079.0
Subtracting 378 from 401 leaves us with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
42 goes into 230 5 times with a remainder of 20.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13079.5
Subtracting 210 from 230 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 200 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13079.54
If we subtract 168 from 200, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 320 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 26.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13079.547
If we subtract 294 from 320, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 260 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13079.5476
Subtracting 252 from 260 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 80 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 13079.54761
If we subtract 42 from 80, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
380 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13079.547619
Subtracting 378 from 380 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 20 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13079.547619
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
42 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13079.54761904
Deduct 168 from 200 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The final result is 13079.54761904 with a remainder of 3.2e-08.
