We divide 50475 by 42
We want to figure out the number of times 50475 can be divided by 42.

Moving on to step 1:
42 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 50 / 42

On to step 2:
When dividing 50 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 42 from 50 leaves us with 8.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 84 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
42 can be fit into 84 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we subtract 84 from 84, we get 0.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 7 / 42

On to step 4:
42 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 120.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 75 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 75 1 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1201.0
Subtracting 42 from 75 leaves us with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
42 goes into 330 7 times with a remainder of 36.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1201.7
If we subtract 294 from 330, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 360 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1201.78
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.

On to step 8:
42 can be fit into 240 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1201.785
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 210 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
300 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 6.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1201.7857
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 294 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
42 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1201.78571
Subtract 42 from 60 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
180 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1201.785714
Deduct 168 from 180 and we're left 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.

On to step 12:
120 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 36.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1201.7857142
If we take 84 away from 120, we end up 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.

Going ahead 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: 1201.78571428
Subtracting 336 from 360 leaves us 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 1201.78571428 with a balance of 2.4e-08.
