Let's divide 506968 by 42
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 506968.

Going ahead to step 1:
42 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 50 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 50 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 42 from 50 and we're left with 8.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 86 / 42

Step 3:
42 can be fit into 86 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 84 from 86 to get 2.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 29 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
29 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 29.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 120.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 0 from 29.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 296 / 42

On to step 5:
296 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 2.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1207.0
Deduct 294 from 296 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 42

On to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 28 0 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12070.0
If we subtract 0 from 28, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
280 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 12070.6
Subtracting 252 from 280 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
42 goes into 280 6 times with a remainder of 28.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12070.66
If we subtract 252 from 280, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 12070.66 and a remainder of 0.028.
