We divide 52918310 by 42
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 52918310.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 52 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
42 can be fit into 52 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 42 from 52 to get 10.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 109 / 42

Step 3:
If we divide 109 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 84 from 109.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 251 / 42

On to step 4:
42 goes into 251 5 times with a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 125.0
Subtract 210 from 251 to get 41.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 41 and repeat the process: 418 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 418 9 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1259.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 378 from 418.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 403 / 42

On to step 6:
When dividing 403 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 25.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12599.0
If we take 378 away from 403, we end up with 25.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 251 / 42

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 251 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 41.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 125995.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 210 from 251.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 41, then carry on: 410 / 42

Moving on to step 8:
42 can be fit into 410 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1259959.0
Subtract 378 from 410 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.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 42 fits into 320 7 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1259959.7
Subtract 294 from 320 to 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.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 260 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1259959.76
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 11:
The number 42 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1259959.761
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.

Moving on to step 12:
380 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1259959.7619
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.

Step 13:
20 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1259959.7619
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up 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.

On to step 14:
If we divide 200 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1259959.761904
Subtract 168 from 200 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 15:
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: 1259959.7619047
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 16:
260 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1259959.76190476
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 1259959.76190476 with a balance of 8e-09.
