Let's divide 551669 by 42
Our goal is to divide 551669 by 42.

Advancing to step 1:
42 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 55 / 42

Moving on to 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
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 42 from 55.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 131 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
42 can be fit into 131 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we take 126 away from 131, we end up with 5.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 56 / 42

Step 4:
When dividing 56 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 14.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 131.0
Subtracting 42 from 56 leaves us with 14.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 146 / 42

On to step 5:
When dividing 146 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 20.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1313.0
If we take 126 away from 146, we end up with 20.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 209 / 42

On to step 6:
42 can be fit into 209 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13134.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 168 from 209.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 410 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13134.9
If we take 378 away from 410, we end up 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.

Step 8:
320 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13134.97
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.

Step 9:
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: 13134.976
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.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 80 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13134.9761
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 42 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 380 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 2.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13134.97619
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.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 20 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13134.97619
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
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: 13134.9761904
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 168 from 200.
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 14:
If we divide 320 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 26.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13134.97619047
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 13134.97619047 with a balance of 2.6e-08.
