We look at the division of 655124 by 42 
We want to divide 655124 by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
6 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 65 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 65 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 42 from 65, we get 23.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 235 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
42 goes into 235 5 times with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we take 210 away from 235, we end up with 25.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 251 / 42

On to step 4:
42 goes into 251 5 times with a remainder of 41.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 155.0
If we subtract 210 from 251, we get 41.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 41 and continue: 412 / 42

Step 5:
If we divide 412 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1559.0
If we subtract 378 from 412, we get 34.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 34, then carry on: 344 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
42 can be fit into 344 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15598.0
Deduct 336 from 344 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 7:
42 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 38.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15598.1
Subtracting 42 from 80 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 42 fits into 380 9 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15598.19
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 378 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
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: 15598.19
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 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 10:
42 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15598.1904
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 320 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 15598.19047
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 12:
If we divide 260 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15598.190476
Deduct 252 from 260 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
42 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15598.1904761
If we take 42 away from 80, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 380 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15598.19047619
Deduct 378 from 380 and we're left 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 15598.19047619 with a balance of 2e-09.
