We divide 42971041 by 15
We want to figure out the number of times 42971041 can be divided by 15.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 15, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 42 / 15

On to step 2:
When dividing 42 by 15, we get 2 with a remainder of 12.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 30 from 42 to get 12.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 129 / 15

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 129 by 15, we get 8 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 28.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 120 from 129.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 97 / 15

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 97 by 15, we get 6 with a remainder of 7.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 286.0
Deduct 90 from 97 and we're left with 7.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 71 / 15

Moving on to step 5:
71 divided by 15 is 4 with a remainder of 11.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2864.0
Subtracting 60 from 71 leaves us with 11.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 110 / 15

On to step 6:
The number 15 fits into 110 7 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 28647.0
Subtract 105 from 110 to get 5.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 54 / 15

Step 7:
15 goes into 54 3 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 286473.0
If we take 45 away from 54, we end up with 9.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 91 / 15

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 91 by 15, we get 6 with a remainder of 1.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2864736.0
Subtract 90 from 91 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 9:
15 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2864736.0
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
15 goes into 100 6 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2864736.06
If we subtract 90 from 100, we 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.

Moving on to step 11:
15 goes into 100 6 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2864736.066
Subtracting 90 from 100 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2864736.066 with a balance of 0.001.
