554937 divided by 42 
We want to figure out the number of times 554937 can be divided by 42.

Moving on to step 1:
5 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 55 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 55 1 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 42 from 55, we get 13.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 134 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
42 goes into 134 3 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13.0
Deduct 126 from 134 and we're left with 8.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 89 / 42

On to step 4:
The number 42 fits into 89 2 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 132.0
Deduct 84 from 89 and we're left with 5.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 53 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 53 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 11.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1321.0
Deduct 42 from 53 and we're left with 11.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 117 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 117 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13212.0
If we take 84 away from 117, we end up with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 330 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 36.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13212.7
If we take 294 away from 330, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 360 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13212.78
Deduct 336 from 360 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 240 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 13212.785
Deduct 210 from 240 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 10:
42 goes into 300 7 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13212.7857
Subtract 294 from 300 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 60 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13212.78571
Subtracting 42 from 60 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 180 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13212.785714
Subtract 168 from 180 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 42 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13212.7857142
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 84 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
360 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13212.78571428
Deduct 336 from 360 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 13212.78571428, and the remainder is 2.4e-08.
