Let's divide 55381038 by 42
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 55381038.

On to step 1:
42 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 55 / 42

On to step 2:
42 can be fit into 55 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 42 from 55 and we're left with 13.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 13, then carry on: 133 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 133 3 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 126 from 133.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 78 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
42 goes into 78 1 times with a remainder of 36.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 131.0
If we take 42 away from 78, we end up with 36.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 361 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 361 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1318.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 336 from 361.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 250 / 42

On to step 6:
42 goes into 250 5 times with a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13185.0
Deduct 210 from 250 and we're left with 40.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 403 / 42

Moving on to step 7:
42 goes into 403 9 times with a remainder of 25.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 131859.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 378 from 403.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 258 / 42

Moving on to step 8:
42 can be fit into 258 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1318596.0
If we subtract 252 from 258, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 60 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1318596.1
Subtracting 42 from 60 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
42 goes into 180 4 times with a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1318596.14
If we subtract 168 from 180, we get 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 11:
When dividing 120 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 36.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1318596.142
If we subtract 84 from 120, 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
42 goes into 360 8 times with a remainder of 24.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1318596.1428
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 336 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 240 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1318596.14285
Subtracting 210 from 240 leaves us 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 14:
If we divide 300 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1318596.142857
If we subtract 294 from 300, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
The number 42 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1318596.1428571
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.

Step 16:
If we divide 180 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1318596.14285714
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 168 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 1318596.14285714, and the remainder is 1.2e-08.
