549698 divided by 42 
Our goal is to divide 549698 by 42.

On to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 54 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
42 can be fit into 54 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 42 from 54 to get 12.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 129 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 129 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtracting 126 from 129 leaves us with 3.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 36 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
42 goes into 36 0 times with a remainder of 36.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 130.0
Subtracting 0 from 36 leaves us with 36.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 369 / 42

Step 5:
If we divide 369 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 33.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1308.0
If we subtract 336 from 369, we get 33.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 33 and continue: 338 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
42 goes into 338 8 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13088.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 336 from 338.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
42 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13088.0
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 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 8:
The number 42 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13088.04
Deduct 168 from 200 and we're left with 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 9:
When dividing 320 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 26.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13088.047
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.

On to step 10:
If we divide 260 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13088.0476
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 252 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 11:
42 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13088.04761
Subtract 42 from 80 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
42 goes into 380 9 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13088.047619
If we subtract 378 from 380, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 20 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 13088.047619
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
200 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13088.04761904
Subtracting 168 from 200 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 13088.04761904 and a remainder of 3.2e-08.
