We divide 551915 by 42
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 551915.

On to step 1:
5 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 55 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 55 1 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 42 away from 55, we end up with 13.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 131 / 42

Step 3:
When dividing 131 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 5.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we take 126 away from 131, we end up with 5.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 59 / 42

Step 4:
When dividing 59 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 17.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 131.0
If we take 42 away from 59, we end up with 17.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 171 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 171 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 3.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1314.0
Deduct 168 from 171 and we're left with 3.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 35 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
42 goes into 35 0 times with a remainder of 35.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13140.0
If we subtract 0 from 35, we get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
350 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13140.8
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 336 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 8:
42 can be fit into 140 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13140.83
Subtracting 126 from 140 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
140 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 14.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13140.833
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 126 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 13140.833 with a balance of 0.0014.
