537296 ÷ 42 
Our goal is to divide 537296 by 42.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 53 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
42 can be fit into 53 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 42 from 53 and we're left with 11.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 117 / 42

On to step 3:
When dividing 117 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 33.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 84 from 117.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 33, then repeat: 332 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 332 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 127.0
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 294 from 332.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 38 and repeat the process: 389 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 389 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1279.0
Subtracting 378 from 389 leaves us with 11.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 116 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
42 can be fit into 116 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12792.0
Subtract 84 from 116 to get 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 7:
The number 42 fits into 320 7 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12792.7
If we subtract 294 from 320, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
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: 12792.76
Deduct 252 from 260 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
42 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 38.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12792.761
If we take 42 away from 80, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 42 fits into 380 9 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12792.7619
Subtract 378 from 380 to get 2.
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 11:
20 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12792.7619
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 200 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12792.761904
Deduct 168 from 200 and we're left 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 13:
42 goes into 320 7 times with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 12792.7619047
Deduct 294 from 320 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
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: 12792.76190476
Subtract 252 from 260 to 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.

The quotient of the division is 12792.76190476, and the remainder is 8e-09.
