181541 divided by 42 
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 181541.

Step 1:
1 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 18 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
42 can be fit into 18 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 18 and we're left with 18.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 181 / 42

Step 3:
The number 42 fits into 181 4 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 168 from 181 to get 13.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 13, then carry on: 135 / 42

On to step 4:
42 goes into 135 3 times with a remainder of 9.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 43.0
Subtracting 126 from 135 leaves us with 9.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 94 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 94 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 10.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 432.0
Subtract 84 from 94 to get 10.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 101 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
101 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 17.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4322.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 84 from 101.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
42 goes into 170 4 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4322.4
Deduct 168 from 170 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed 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: 4322.4
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.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 200 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4322.404
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.

On to step 10:
If we divide 320 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 26.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4322.4047
If we take 294 away from 320, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 42 fits into 260 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4322.40476
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 80 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 38.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4322.404761
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 380 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4322.4047619
If we take 378 away from 380, we end up 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.

On to step 14:
If we divide 20 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4322.4047619
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 4322.4047619 with a balance of 2e-08.
