We look at the division of 551653 by 42 
Our goal is to divide 551653 by 42.

Moving on to step 1:
42 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 55 / 42

Step 2:
42 goes into 55 1 times with a remainder of 13.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 42 from 55 leaves us with 13.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 131 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
42 goes into 131 3 times with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 13.0
Deduct 126 from 131 and we're left with 5.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 56 / 42

Step 4:
If we divide 56 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 14.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 131.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 42 from 56.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 145 / 42

On to step 5:
If we divide 145 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 19.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1313.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 126 from 145.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 193 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
193 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 13134.0
Deduct 168 from 193 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 7:
42 goes into 250 5 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13134.5
Deduct 210 from 250 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 400 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 13134.59
Subtract 378 from 400 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
220 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13134.595
If we subtract 210 from 220, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
42 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13134.5952
Subtracting 84 from 100 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 42 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13134.59523
Subtract 126 from 160 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 42 fits into 340 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13134.595238
Subtract 336 from 340 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 40 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13134.595238
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 400 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13134.59523809
If we take 378 away from 400, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 13134.59523809 and a remainder of 2.2e-08.
