452522 ÷ 42 
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 452522.

On to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 45 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
42 goes into 45 1 times with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 42 from 45 and we're left with 3.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 32 / 42

Step 3:
The number 42 fits into 32 0 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtracting 0 from 32 leaves us with 32.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 32 and repeat the process: 325 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
42 goes into 325 7 times with a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 107.0
Subtract 294 from 325 to get 31.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 312 / 42

On to step 5:
When dividing 312 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 18.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1077.0
Subtracting 294 from 312 leaves us with 18.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 182 / 42

On to step 6:
If we divide 182 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 14.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10774.0
If we subtract 168 from 182, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
42 can be fit into 140 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10774.3
Subtract 126 from 140 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
140 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10774.33
If we take 126 away from 140, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 10774.33 and a remainder of 0.014.
