We look at the division of 450252 by 42 
We want to divide 450252 by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 45 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
42 can be fit into 45 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 42 from 45 to get 3.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 30 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
30 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up with 30.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 302 / 42

Step 4:
42 can be fit into 302 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 107.0
Deduct 294 from 302 and we're left with 8.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 85 / 42

On to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 85 2 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1072.0
If we take 84 away from 85, we end up with 1.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 12 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 12 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10720.0
Deduct 0 from 12 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
120 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10720.2
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 8:
If we divide 360 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10720.28
If we take 336 away from 360, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 240 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10720.285
Subtract 210 from 240 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
42 goes into 300 7 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10720.2857
Deduct 294 from 300 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 60 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10720.28571
Subtract 42 from 60 to get 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 12:
When dividing 180 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10720.285714
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 168 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
42 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10720.2857142
Subtract 84 from 120 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 360 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10720.28571428
Subtract 336 from 360 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 10720.28571428 with a balance of 2.4e-08.
