Let's divide 54201 by 42
We want to divide 54201 by 42.

Moving 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
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 54 / 42

On to step 2:
42 goes into 54 1 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 42 from 54 leaves us with 12.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 122 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
42 goes into 122 2 times with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 84 away from 122, we end up with 38.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 38, then repeat: 380 / 42

Step 4:
When dividing 380 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 129.0
Deduct 378 from 380 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 21 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
21 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 21.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1290.0
If we take 0 away from 21, we end up with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
42 can be fit into 210 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1290.5
Deduct 210 from 210 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
42 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1290.5
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 0 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1290.5
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 1290.5 and a remainder of 0.0.
