We divide 544060 by 42
Our goal is to divide 544060 by 42.

On to step 1:
42 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 54 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
54 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 12.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 42 from 54 and we're left with 12.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 124 / 42

Step 3:
The number 42 fits into 124 2 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 84 from 124 to get 40.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 400 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
42 goes into 400 9 times with a remainder of 22.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 129.0
Deduct 378 from 400 and we're left with 22.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 226 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 226 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1295.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 210 from 226.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 160 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
42 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12953.0
Subtracting 126 from 160 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
42 can be fit into 340 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12953.8
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.

On to step 8:
42 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 12953.8
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 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 9:
If we divide 400 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 22.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12953.809
Deduct 378 from 400 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 220 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12953.8095
Subtracting 210 from 220 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 100 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12953.80952
Subtract 84 from 100 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
160 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 12953.809523
Deduct 126 from 160 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
42 can be fit into 340 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12953.8095238
Subtracting 336 from 340 leaves us with 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 14:
42 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12953.8095238
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.

After the division, we end up with 12953.8095238 and a remainder of 4e-08.
