384541 ÷ 42 
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 384541.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 38 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
42 goes into 38 0 times with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 0 from 38.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 38, then repeat: 384 / 42

On to step 3:
42 goes into 384 9 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we subtract 378 from 384, we get 6.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 65 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
42 can be fit into 65 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 91.0
If we subtract 42 from 65, we get 23.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 234 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
234 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 915.0
If we take 210 away from 234, we end up with 24.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 241 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
42 goes into 241 5 times with a remainder of 31.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9155.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 210 from 241.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
42 goes into 310 7 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9155.7
Subtracting 294 from 310 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 8:
160 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 34.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9155.73
Subtract 126 from 160 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 340 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9155.738
If we subtract 336 from 340, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 40 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9155.738
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
42 can be fit into 400 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9155.73809
Subtracting 378 from 400 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 42 fits into 220 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 9155.738095
Subtracting 210 from 220 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9155.7380952
Deduct 84 from 100 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
42 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 34.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9155.73809523
Deduct 126 from 160 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 9155.73809523, and the remainder is 3.4e-08.
