We divide 542197 by 13
Our goal is to divide 542197 by 13.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 13, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 54 / 13

Let's proceed to step 2:
54 divided by 13 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 52 from 54 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 22 / 13

On to step 3:
13 can be fit into 22 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 41.0
If we take 13 away from 22, we end up with 9.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 91 / 13

Let's proceed to step 4:
13 can be fit into 91 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 417.0
Subtract 91 from 91 to get 0.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 9 / 13

On to step 5:
When dividing 9 by 13, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4170.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 97 / 13

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 97 by 13, we get 7 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 41707.0
If we take 91 away from 97, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
13 goes into 60 4 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 41707.4
Deduct 52 from 60 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 80 by 13, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 41707.46
If we take 78 away from 80, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
13 can be fit into 20 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 41707.461
Deduct 13 from 20 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
13 goes into 70 5 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 41707.4615
Deduct 65 from 70 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
13 goes into 50 3 times with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 41707.46153
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 39 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 110 by 13, we get 8 with a remainder of 6.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 41707.461538
If we subtract 104 from 110, 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.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 60 by 13, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 41707.4615384
Deduct 52 from 60 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 80 by 13, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 41707.46153846
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 78 from 80.
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 41707.46153846, and the remainder is 2e-09.
