We look at the division of 541551 by 42 
Our goal is to divide 541551 by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 54 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
54 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 42 from 54 to get 12.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 121 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 121 2 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 84 from 121.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 37, then repeat: 375 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
42 can be fit into 375 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 128.0
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 336 from 375.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 39, then repeat: 395 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
395 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 17.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1289.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 378 from 395.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 171 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
42 goes into 171 4 times with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12894.0
If we take 168 away from 171, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
30 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12894.0
Subtracting 0 from 30 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 42 fits into 300 7 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12894.07
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 9:
42 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 12894.071
Deduct 42 from 60 and we're left 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.

Step 10:
42 can be fit into 180 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12894.0714
Deduct 168 from 180 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 11:
42 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 36.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12894.07142
Subtract 84 from 120 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 360 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12894.071428
If we take 336 away from 360, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 13:
42 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12894.0714285
If we subtract 210 from 240, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
42 can be fit into 300 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12894.07142857
If we take 294 away from 300, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 12894.07142857 with a balance of 6e-09.
