We divide 552585 by 42
We want to figure out the number of times 552585 can be divided by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
5 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 55 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
55 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 13.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 42 from 55, we get 13.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 132 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
132 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtracting 126 from 132 leaves us with 6.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 65 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 65 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 131.0
Deduct 42 from 65 and we're left with 23.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 238 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
42 goes into 238 5 times with a remainder of 28.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1315.0
If we subtract 210 from 238, we get 28.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 285 / 42

On to step 6:
If we divide 285 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 33.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13156.0
If we take 252 away from 285, we end up with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
42 goes into 330 7 times with a remainder of 36.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13156.7
Subtract 294 from 330 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 360 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13156.78
If we subtract 336 from 360, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 240 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13156.785
If we subtract 210 from 240, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
300 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 6.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13156.7857
If we take 294 away from 300, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
42 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 13156.78571
If we take 42 away from 60, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 180 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 13156.785714
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 168 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13156.7857142
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 84 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 360 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13156.78571428
Subtract 336 from 360 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Our division results in 13156.78571428 with a remaining 2.4e-08.
