We divide 549745 by 42
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 549745.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 54 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 54 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 12.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 42 away from 54, we end up with 12.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 129 / 42

On to step 3:
42 goes into 129 3 times with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtract 126 from 129 to get 3.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 37 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
37 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 37.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 130.0
Subtract 0 from 37 to get 37.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 37 and repeat the process: 374 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
42 can be fit into 374 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1308.0
Subtracting 336 from 374 leaves us with 38.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 385 / 42

On to step 6:
42 can be fit into 385 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13089.0
If we take 378 away from 385, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
42 can be fit into 70 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13089.1
If we subtract 42 from 70, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 280 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13089.16
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 252 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 280 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 13089.166
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 252 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Our division results in 13089.166 with a remaining 0.0028.
