We look at the division of 50131 by 42 
We want to figure out the number of times 50131 can be divided by 42.

Going ahead to step 1:
42 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 50 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
50 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 8.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 42 from 50.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 81 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
81 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 39.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 42 from 81.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 39 and continue with: 393 / 42

Step 4:
393 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 15.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 119.0
If we subtract 378 from 393, we get 15.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 151 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 151 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 25.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1193.0
Deduct 126 from 151 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 6:
42 can be fit into 250 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1193.5
Deduct 210 from 250 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 400 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1193.59
If we subtract 378 from 400, we get 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 8:
220 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1193.595
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.

Step 9:
42 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1193.5952
If we take 84 away from 100, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 42 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1193.59523
If we take 126 away from 160, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 11:
42 goes into 340 8 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1193.595238
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 336 from 340.
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 12:
42 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1193.595238
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
42 goes into 400 9 times with a remainder of 22.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1193.59523809
If we subtract 378 from 400, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 1193.59523809 and a remainder of 2.2e-08.
