544384 divided by 42 
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 544384.

On to step 1:
5 divided by 42 is 0 with 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.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 54 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
42 goes into 54 1 times with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 42 from 54, we get 12.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 124 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
42 can be fit into 124 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 84 away from 124, we end up with 40.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 403 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 403 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 25.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 129.0
Subtracting 378 from 403 leaves us with 25.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 258 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
42 can be fit into 258 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1296.0
Subtract 252 from 258 to get 6.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 64 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 64 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 22.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12961.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 42 from 64.
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 7:
If we divide 220 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 12961.5
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.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 100 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12961.52
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 9:
160 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 34.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12961.523
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 10:
340 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12961.5238
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.

Moving on to step 11:
42 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12961.5238
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 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 12:
When dividing 400 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 22.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12961.523809
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 220 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12961.5238095
If we subtract 210 from 220, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
42 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12961.52380952
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.

Our division results in 12961.52380952 with a remaining 1.6e-08.
