Let's divide 85548712 by 42
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 85548712.

On to step 1:
42 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 85 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
42 can be fit into 85 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 84 from 85 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 15 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
15 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 15.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20.0
Subtract 0 from 15 to get 15.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 154 / 42

Step 4:
42 goes into 154 3 times with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 203.0
Subtracting 126 from 154 leaves us with 28.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 288 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
288 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2036.0
Subtract 252 from 288 to get 36.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 367 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
367 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 31.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20368.0
Subtract 336 from 367 to get 31.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 311 / 42

Advancing to step 7:
42 goes into 311 7 times with a remainder of 17.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 203687.0
Deduct 294 from 311 and we're left with 17.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 172 / 42

Step 8:
When dividing 172 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 4.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2036874.0
If we take 168 away from 172, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 40 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2036874.0
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 10:
42 goes into 400 9 times with a remainder of 22.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2036874.09
Subtracting 378 from 400 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 42 fits into 220 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2036874.095
Subtract 210 from 220 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 12:
42 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2036874.0952
Deduct 84 from 100 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2036874.09523
Subtracting 126 from 160 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 42 fits into 340 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2036874.095238
Subtracting 336 from 340 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
42 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2036874.095238
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
When dividing 400 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2036874.09523809
Deduct 378 from 400 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

The final result is 2036874.09523809 with a remainder of 2.2e-08.
