42140 divided by 97 
We want to figure out the number of times 42140 can be divided by 97.

Moving on to step 1:
97 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
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 / 97

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 42 by 97, we get 0 with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 42 leaves us with 42.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 421 / 97

Step 3:
The number 97 fits into 421 4 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 388 from 421 leaves us with 33.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 33, then repeat: 334 / 97

Let's proceed to step 4:
334 divided by 97 is 3 with a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 43.0
If we subtract 291 from 334, we get 43.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 43 and continue with: 430 / 97

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 430 by 97, we get 4 with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 434.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 388 from 430.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 420 by 97, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 434.4
If we subtract 388 from 420, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
97 can be fit into 320 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 434.43
If we take 291 away from 320, we end up with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
97 goes into 290 2 times with a remainder of 96.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 434.432
If we take 194 away from 290, we end up with 96.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
960 divided by 97 is 9 with a remainder of 87.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 434.4329
Deduct 873 from 960 and we're left with 87.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 870, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
97 can be fit into 870 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 94.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 434.43298
If we take 776 away from 870, we end up with 94.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 940, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 97 fits into 940 9 times, leaving a remainder of 67.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 434.432989
Deduct 873 from 940 and we're left with 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
670 divided by 97 is 6 with a remainder of 88.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 434.4329896
If we take 582 away from 670, we end up with 88.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
97 goes into 880 9 times with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 434.43298969
Subtract 873 from 880 to get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 434.43298969 and a remainder of 7e-09.
