556118 divided by 42 
We want to divide 556118 by 42.

Going ahead to step 1:
5 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 55 / 42

Step 2:
The number 42 fits into 55 1 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 42 from 55 leaves us with 13.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 13, then carry on: 136 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 136 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 10.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtract 126 from 136 to get 10.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 101 / 42

Step 4:
42 goes into 101 2 times with a remainder of 17.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 132.0
Subtracting 84 from 101 leaves us with 17.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 171 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
42 goes into 171 4 times with a remainder of 3.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1324.0
Deduct 168 from 171 and we're left with 3.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 38 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
42 can be fit into 38 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13240.0
Deduct 0 from 38 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 380 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 13240.9
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.

Advancing to step 8:
42 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13240.9
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 200 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 13240.904
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.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 42 fits into 320 7 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13240.9047
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.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13240.90476
Subtract 252 from 260 to 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.

Advancing to step 12:
42 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 38.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13240.904761
Subtract 42 from 80 to 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.

On to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 380 9 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13240.9047619
Deduct 378 from 380 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.

Moving on to step 14:
42 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13240.9047619
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us 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.

After the division, we end up with 13240.9047619 and a remainder of 2e-08.
