We divide 42546290 by 42
We want to divide 42546290 by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 42 / 42

Step 2:
42 goes into 42 1 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 42 from 42 and we're left with 0.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 5 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 5 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10.0
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 4:
The number 42 fits into 54 1 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 101.0
If we take 42 away from 54, we end up with 12.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 126 / 42

On to step 5:
126 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1013.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 126 from 126.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 2 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 2 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10130.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 29 / 42

On to step 7:
42 goes into 29 0 times with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 101300.0
Deduct 0 from 29 and we're left with 29.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 290 / 42

On to step 8:
42 can be fit into 290 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1013006.0
Subtract 252 from 290 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
380 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1013006.9
If we take 378 away from 380, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
42 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1013006.9
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
42 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1013006.904
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 168 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
42 goes into 320 7 times with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1013006.9047
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 294 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 260 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1013006.90476
Subtracting 252 from 260 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 80 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 38.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1013006.904761
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 42 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
When dividing 380 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1013006.9047619
If we subtract 378 from 380, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 16:
If we divide 20 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1013006.9047619
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

The final result is 1013006.9047619 with a remainder of 2e-08.
