101550 divided by 42 
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 101550.

On to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 10 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
42 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 101 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
101 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 17.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 84 away from 101, we end up with 17.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 175 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 175 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 24.0
Deduct 168 from 175 and we're left with 7.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 75 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 75 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 33.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 241.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 42 from 75.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 33, then repeat: 330 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 330 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 36.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2417.0
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.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 360 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2417.8
Deduct 336 from 360 and we're left with 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 8:
42 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2417.85
Deduct 210 from 240 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 300 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 6.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2417.857
Deduct 294 from 300 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 60 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2417.8571
Deduct 42 from 60 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 42 fits into 180 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2417.85714
Subtracting 168 from 180 leaves us with 12.
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 12:
If we divide 120 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 36.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2417.857142
Deduct 84 from 120 and we're left with 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 13:
If we divide 360 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2417.8571428
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 14:
240 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2417.85714285
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.

The final result is 2417.85714285 with a remainder of 3e-08.
