41484 divided by 42 
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 41484.

Step 1:
If we divide 4 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 41 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 41 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 41.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 41 and we're left with 41.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 41 and continue with: 414 / 42

On to step 3:
42 goes into 414 9 times with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtract 378 from 414 to get 36.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 36 and continue with: 368 / 42

On to step 4:
42 can be fit into 368 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 98.0
If we take 336 away from 368, we end up with 32.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 32, then repeat: 324 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
324 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 30.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 987.0
If we take 294 away from 324, 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.

Advancing to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 300 7 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 987.7
Deduct 294 from 300 and we're left 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.

Step 7:
42 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 987.71
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.

On to step 8:
The number 42 fits into 180 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 987.714
Deduct 168 from 180 and we're left with 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 9:
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: 987.7142
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.

On to step 10:
When dividing 360 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 987.71428
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.

Step 11:
42 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 987.714285
Subtracting 210 from 240 leaves us 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 12:
When dividing 300 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 987.7142857
Subtracting 294 from 300 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 13:
60 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 987.71428571
Subtract 42 from 60 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 987.71428571 with a balance of 1.8e-08.
