We divide 457561 by 42
We want to divide 457561 by 42.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 45 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
42 can be fit into 45 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 42 from 45 and we're left with 3.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 37 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
42 goes into 37 0 times with a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Deduct 0 from 37 and we're left with 37.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 375 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 42 fits into 375 8 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 108.0
If we take 336 away from 375, we end up with 39.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 39 and continue with: 396 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 396 9 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1089.0
Subtracting 378 from 396 leaves us with 18.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 181 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
42 can be fit into 181 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10894.0
If we subtract 168 from 181, we get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 130 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 10894.3
Subtract 126 from 130 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
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: 10894.3
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.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 42 fits into 400 9 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 10894.309
Deduct 378 from 400 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 220 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10894.3095
If we take 210 away from 220, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 100 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10894.30952
Subtract 84 from 100 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
42 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 34.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10894.309523
If we subtract 126 from 160, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 340 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10894.3095238
If we subtract 336 from 340, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 14:
40 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10894.3095238
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.

Our division results in 10894.3095238 with a remaining 4e-08.
