We're dividing 548711 by 42 
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 548711.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 54 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
42 can be fit into 54 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 42 away from 54, we end up with 12.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 128 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 128 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 2.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtract 126 from 128 to get 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
42 can be fit into 27 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 130.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 0 from 27.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 271 / 42

On to step 5:
If we divide 271 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 19.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1306.0
Subtract 252 from 271 to get 19.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 191 / 42

On to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 191 4 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13064.0
If we subtract 168 from 191, we get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
42 can be fit into 230 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13064.5
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 210 from 230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 200 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 13064.54
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.

Step 9:
42 goes into 320 7 times with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13064.547
Subtracting 294 from 320 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
42 goes into 260 6 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13064.5476
If we subtract 252 from 260, we get 8.
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:
The number 42 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13064.54761
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 380 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13064.547619
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13064.547619
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
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: 13064.54761904
If we take 168 away from 200, we end up 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.

The final outcome is 13064.54761904, with a leftover of 3.2e-08.
