531401 divided by 42 
We want to divide 531401 by 42.

Advancing to step 1:
42 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 53 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 53 1 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 42 from 53 and we're left with 11.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 111 / 42

Step 3:
42 goes into 111 2 times with a remainder of 27.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 84 from 111 to get 27.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 274 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
274 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 22.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 126.0
If we subtract 252 from 274, we get 22.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 220 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
42 can be fit into 220 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1265.0
Subtracting 210 from 220 leaves us with 10.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 101 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
42 can be fit into 101 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12652.0
If we take 84 away from 101, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Moving on 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: 12652.4
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 168 from 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead 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: 12652.4
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
42 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 12652.404
Subtracting 168 from 200 leaves us 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:
42 goes into 320 7 times with a remainder of 26.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12652.4047
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 294 from 320.
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:
42 can be fit into 260 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 12652.40476
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 number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12652.404761
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
380 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12652.4047619
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.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 20 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12652.4047619
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.

The quotient of the division is 12652.4047619, and the remainder is 2e-08.
