We divide 541475 by 42
We want to divide 541475 by 42.

Step 1:
5 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
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

Step 2:
When dividing 54 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 12.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 42 away from 54, we end up with 12.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 121 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 121 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 37.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 84 from 121.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 37 and continue: 374 / 42

Step 4:
When dividing 374 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 38.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 128.0
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 336 from 374.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 38 and continue: 387 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 387 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1289.0
Subtract 378 from 387 to get 9.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 95 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 95 2 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12892.0
Deduct 84 from 95 and we're left with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Step 7:
42 goes into 110 2 times with a remainder of 26.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12892.2
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 84 from 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 42 fits into 260 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 12892.26
Subtracting 252 from 260 leaves us 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.

On to step 9:
The number 42 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12892.261
Subtract 42 from 80 to get 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:
If we divide 380 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12892.2619
If we subtract 378 from 380, we 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.

On to step 11:
20 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12892.2619
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.

Step 12:
The number 42 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12892.261904
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.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 320 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 26.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12892.2619047
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 14:
The number 42 fits into 260 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12892.26190476
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.

The final result is 12892.26190476 with a remainder of 8e-09.
