Let's divide 506957 by 42
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 506957.

Going ahead to step 1:
42 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 50 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
42 can be fit into 50 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 42 from 50 to get 8.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 86 / 42

On to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 86 2 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtracting 84 from 86 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 29 / 42

Step 4:
If we divide 29 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 29.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 120.0
If we subtract 0 from 29, we get 29.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 295 / 42

Step 5:
42 goes into 295 7 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1207.0
Subtract 294 from 295 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
42 can be fit into 17 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12070.0
If we subtract 0 from 17, we get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
42 can be fit into 170 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12070.4
Subtracting 168 from 170 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.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 20 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 12070.4
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up 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 9:
When dividing 200 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12070.404
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 168 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 320 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 12070.4047
Deduct 294 from 320 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 260 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12070.40476
If we subtract 252 from 260, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
42 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 12070.404761
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 13:
42 can be fit into 380 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12070.4047619
If we subtract 378 from 380, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
20 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12070.4047619
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up 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.

Our division results in 12070.4047619 with a remaining 2e-08.
