We divide 854511 by 42
Our goal is to divide 854511 by 42.

Going ahead to step 1:
42 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 85 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 85 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 84 away from 85, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 14 / 42

On to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 14 0 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20.0
Subtract 0 from 14 to get 14.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 145 / 42

On to step 4:
When dividing 145 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 19.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 203.0
If we subtract 126 from 145, we get 19.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 19, then repeat: 191 / 42

Step 5:
The number 42 fits into 191 4 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2034.0
If we subtract 168 from 191, we get 23.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 231 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 231 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20345.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 210 from 231.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 210 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 20345.5
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 210 from 210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
0 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20345.5
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 0 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20345.5
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 20345.5 with a balance of 0.0.
