We look at the division of 56477140 by 42 
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 56477140.

On to step 1:
42 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 56 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 56 1 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 42 from 56 and we're left with 14.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 144 / 42

Step 3:
If we divide 144 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 18.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we take 126 away from 144, we end up with 18.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 187 / 42

Step 4:
187 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 19.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 134.0
If we subtract 168 from 187, we get 19.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 197 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 197 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 29.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1344.0
Subtracting 168 from 197 leaves us with 29.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 291 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
42 goes into 291 6 times with a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13446.0
Subtract 252 from 291 to get 39.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 39 and continue: 394 / 42

Moving on to step 7:
42 can be fit into 394 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 134469.0
Subtracting 378 from 394 leaves us with 16.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 160 / 42

Let's proceed to step 8:
160 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 34.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1344693.0
If we take 126 away from 160, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 42 fits into 340 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1344693.8
If we take 336 away from 340, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
42 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1344693.8
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
42 goes into 400 9 times with a remainder of 22.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1344693.809
Subtract 378 from 400 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 42 fits into 220 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1344693.8095
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 210 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 13:
42 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1344693.80952
Subtracting 84 from 100 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
42 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1344693.809523
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 126 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
If we divide 340 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1344693.8095238
Deduct 336 from 340 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
42 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1344693.8095238
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The final result is 1344693.8095238 with a remainder of 4e-08.
