357597 ÷ 42 
We want to figure out the number of times 357597 can be divided by 42.

Step 1:
If we divide 3 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 35 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 35 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 35.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 35 leaves us with 35.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 35 and continue: 357 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 357 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 21.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 336 from 357.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 215 / 42

Step 4:
The number 42 fits into 215 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 85.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 210 from 215.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 59 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 59 1 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 851.0
If we take 42 away from 59, we end up with 17.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 177 / 42

Step 6:
If we divide 177 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 9.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8514.0
If we take 168 away from 177, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 90 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 6.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8514.2
Subtract 84 from 90 to 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.

On to step 8:
42 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 18.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8514.21
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.

On to step 9:
The number 42 fits into 180 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 8514.214
If we take 168 away from 180, we end up 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 10:
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: 8514.2142
If we subtract 84 from 120, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 360 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8514.21428
Deduct 336 from 360 and we're left 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 12:
240 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8514.214285
Subtract 210 from 240 to 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.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 300 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 6.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8514.2142857
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 14:
42 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8514.21428571
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 42 from 60.
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 8514.21428571 with a balance of 1.8e-08.
