We're dividing 359385 by 42 
We want to figure out the number of times 359385 can be divided by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
42 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 0 from 3.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 35 / 42

Step 2:
If we divide 35 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 35.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 35 leaves us with 35.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 35, then carry on: 359 / 42

Step 3:
The number 42 fits into 359 8 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 336 from 359, we get 23.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 233 / 42

Step 4:
42 can be fit into 233 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 85.0
Subtract 210 from 233 to get 23.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 238 / 42

On to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 238 5 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 855.0
If we subtract 210 from 238, we get 28.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 285 / 42

Step 6:
42 goes into 285 6 times with a remainder of 33.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8556.0
Subtract 252 from 285 to get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
42 goes into 330 7 times with a remainder of 36.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8556.7
Subtracting 294 from 330 leaves us 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 8:
The number 42 fits into 360 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8556.78
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 336 from 360.
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 9:
The number 42 fits into 240 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8556.785
If we subtract 210 from 240, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
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: 8556.7857
If we subtract 294 from 300, we get 6.
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 11:
When dividing 60 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8556.78571
Subtracting 42 from 60 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 180 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 8556.785714
Subtracting 168 from 180 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 120 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 36.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8556.7857142
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.

Step 14:
42 goes into 360 8 times with a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8556.78571428
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 336 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The final result is 8556.78571428 with a remainder of 2.4e-08.
