Let's divide 423741 by 42
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 423741.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 42 / 42

Step 2:
42 goes into 42 1 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 42 from 42 and we're left with 0.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 3 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
42 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 37 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 37 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 100.0
Deduct 0 from 37 and we're left with 37.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 37 and continue: 374 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
42 can be fit into 374 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1008.0
Subtracting 336 from 374 leaves us with 38.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 38 and repeat the process: 381 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 381 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 3.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10089.0
If we subtract 378 from 381, we get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
30 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10089.0
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 300 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10089.07
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 294 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 42 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10089.071
Deduct 42 from 60 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 10:
180 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 10089.0714
If we subtract 168 from 180, we 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 11:
42 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10089.07142
If we take 84 away from 120, 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.

On to step 12:
The number 42 fits into 360 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10089.071428
Subtracting 336 from 360 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 13:
240 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10089.0714285
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.

On to step 14:
42 can be fit into 300 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10089.07142857
If we take 294 away from 300, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Our division results in 10089.07142857 with a remaining 6e-09.
