Let's divide 548895 by 42
Our goal is to divide 548895 by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 54 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
54 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 12.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 42 from 54 leaves us with 12.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 128 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 128 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 2.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 126 from 128.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 28 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 28.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 130.0
If we take 0 away from 28, we end up with 28.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 289 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
42 goes into 289 6 times with a remainder of 37.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1306.0
Deduct 252 from 289 and we're left with 37.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 37, then repeat: 375 / 42

On to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 375 8 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13068.0
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 336 from 375.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 390 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13068.9
Subtracting 378 from 390 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
120 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 36.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13068.92
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.

Moving on to step 9:
42 goes into 360 8 times with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 13068.928
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 336 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
42 can be fit into 240 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13068.9285
Subtract 210 from 240 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
42 can be fit into 300 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13068.92857
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.

Step 12:
42 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 18.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13068.928571
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 42 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
42 can be fit into 180 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13068.9285714
If we subtract 168 from 180, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 120 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 13068.92857142
If we subtract 84 from 120, we 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 13068.92857142 with a balance of 3.6e-08.
