Let's divide 523354 by 42
We want to figure out the number of times 523354 can be divided by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 52 / 42

Step 2:
When dividing 52 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 42 from 52 and we're left with 10.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 103 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
42 can be fit into 103 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtracting 84 from 103 leaves us with 19.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 193 / 42

Step 4:
When dividing 193 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 25.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 124.0
Subtract 168 from 193 to get 25.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 255 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
255 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 3.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1246.0
If we subtract 252 from 255, we get 3.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 34 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 34 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 34.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12460.0
Subtract 0 from 34 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 340 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12460.8
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 40 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12460.8
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 400 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 22.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12460.809
If we take 378 away from 400, we end up 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.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12460.8095
If we take 210 away from 220, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 11:
100 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12460.80952
Subtracting 84 from 100 leaves us with 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 number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12460.809523
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 126 from 160.
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 13:
When dividing 340 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 12460.8095238
Deduct 336 from 340 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
40 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12460.8095238
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.

Our division results in 12460.8095238 with a remaining 4e-08.
