We divide 341979 by 42
We want to figure out the number of times 341979 can be divided by 42.

Going ahead to step 1:
42 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 34 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 34 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 34 and we're left with 34.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 34, then carry on: 341 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 341 8 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we take 336 away from 341, we end up with 5.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 59 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
42 goes into 59 1 times with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 81.0
If we take 42 away from 59, we end up with 17.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 177 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 177 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 9.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 814.0
Subtracting 168 from 177 leaves us with 9.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 99 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
42 can be fit into 99 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8142.0
Deduct 84 from 99 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 150 3 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 8142.3
Subtract 126 from 150 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
240 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8142.35
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.

Advancing to step 9:
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: 8142.357
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.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 60 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8142.3571
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 42 fits into 180 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8142.35714
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 12:
If we divide 120 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 36.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8142.357142
Deduct 84 from 120 and we're left 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 13:
360 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8142.3571428
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 240 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8142.35714285
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 210 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 8142.35714285 with a balance of 3e-08.
