We divide 54940733 by 42
We want to divide 54940733 by 42.

Moving on to step 1:
42 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 54 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
42 goes into 54 1 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 42 from 54 to get 12.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 129 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
42 goes into 129 3 times with a remainder of 3.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we take 126 away from 129, we end up with 3.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 34 / 42

Step 4:
If we divide 34 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 34.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 130.0
Subtracting 0 from 34 leaves us with 34.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 34, then carry on: 340 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 340 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1308.0
If we subtract 336 from 340, we get 4.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 47 / 42

Step 6:
When dividing 47 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 5.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13081.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 42 from 47.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 53 / 42

Step 7:
If we divide 53 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 11.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 130811.0
Subtracting 42 from 53 leaves us with 11.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 113 / 42

Advancing to step 8:
The number 42 fits into 113 2 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1308112.0
If we take 84 away from 113, we end up with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 290 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1308112.6
If we subtract 252 from 290, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 380 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1308112.69
Subtract 378 from 380 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
20 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1308112.69
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 200 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1308112.6904
Deduct 168 from 200 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
320 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1308112.69047
If we subtract 294 from 320, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
260 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1308112.690476
Subtract 252 from 260 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 15:
80 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1308112.6904761
Deduct 42 from 80 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
380 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1308112.69047619
If we subtract 378 from 380, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 1308112.69047619, and the remainder is 2e-09.
