We look at the division of 532585 by 42 
Our goal is to divide 532585 by 42.

On to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 53 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
42 can be fit into 53 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 42 from 53 to get 11.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 112 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 112 2 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtracting 84 from 112 leaves us with 28.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 285 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 285 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 33.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 126.0
Deduct 252 from 285 and we're left with 33.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 33 and continue with: 338 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
42 can be fit into 338 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1268.0
Deduct 336 from 338 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 25 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 25 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 25.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12680.0
If we take 0 away from 25, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
42 can be fit into 250 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12680.5
If we take 210 away from 250, 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
400 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 22.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12680.59
If we subtract 378 from 400, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 220 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12680.595
Deduct 210 from 220 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 100 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12680.5952
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 84 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 160 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 12680.59523
Subtracting 126 from 160 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 340 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12680.595238
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 336 from 340.
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 13:
When dividing 40 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12680.595238
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.

Step 14:
If we divide 400 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 12680.59523809
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.

After the division, we end up with 12680.59523809 and a remainder of 2.2e-08.
