Let's divide 542042 by 10
We want to divide 542042 by 10.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 10, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 54 / 10

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 54 by 10, we get 5 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 50 away from 54, we end up with 4.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 42 / 10

On to step 3:
When dividing 42 by 10, we get 4 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 54.0
Deduct 40 from 42 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 20 / 10

Moving on to step 4:
20 divided by 10 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 542.0
Deduct 20 from 20 and we're left with 0.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 4 / 10

Going ahead to step 5:
4 divided by 10 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5420.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 42 / 10

Advancing to step 6:
42 divided by 10 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 54204.0
Subtracting 40 from 42 leaves us 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.

Step 7:
20 divided by 10 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 54204.2
If we subtract 20 from 20, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 0 by 10, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 54204.2
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
0 divided by 10 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 54204.2
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 54204.2 with a balance of 0.0.
