We divide 574903 by 42
We want to divide 574903 by 42.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 57 / 42

Step 2:
The number 42 fits into 57 1 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 42 from 57.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 154 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 154 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 28.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we subtract 126 from 154, we get 28.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 289 / 42

On to step 4:
When dividing 289 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 37.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 136.0
Deduct 252 from 289 and we're left with 37.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 370 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
42 goes into 370 8 times with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1368.0
If we take 336 away from 370, we end up with 34.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 34 and continue with: 343 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 343 8 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13688.0
If we take 336 away from 343, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 70 1 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13688.1
Deduct 42 from 70 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 280 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 28.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13688.16
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 252 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 9:
42 goes into 280 6 times with a remainder of 28.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13688.166
Deduct 252 from 280 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

The final result is 13688.166 with a remainder of 0.0028.
