We divide 538194 by 42
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 538194.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 53 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
53 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 42 from 53 leaves us with 11.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 118 / 42

Step 3:
42 goes into 118 2 times with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we subtract 84 from 118, we get 34.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 34 and continue with: 341 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
42 goes into 341 8 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 128.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 336 from 341.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 59 / 42

On to step 5:
If we divide 59 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 17.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1281.0
Subtracting 42 from 59 leaves us with 17.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 174 / 42

Step 6:
42 can be fit into 174 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12814.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 168 from 174.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
42 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 12814.1
If we take 42 away from 60, we end up 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 8:
180 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12814.14
Subtracting 168 from 180 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
120 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 36.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12814.142
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.

Step 10:
42 can be fit into 360 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12814.1428
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 336 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 240 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12814.14285
Subtracting 210 from 240 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 12:
42 goes into 300 7 times with a remainder of 6.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12814.142857
If we take 294 away from 300, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 60 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 18.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12814.1428571
If we take 42 away from 60, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 180 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12814.14285714
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.

The final outcome is 12814.14285714, with a leftover of 1.2e-08.
