361409 divided by 42 
We want to figure out the number of times 361409 can be divided by 42.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 36 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
36 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 36, we end up with 36.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 36, then repeat: 361 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
42 can be fit into 361 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 336 from 361.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 254 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 42 fits into 254 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 86.0
Deduct 252 from 254 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 20 / 42

Step 5:
When dividing 20 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 860.0
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 209 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 209 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 41.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8604.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 168 from 209.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
42 goes into 410 9 times with a remainder of 32.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8604.9
If we subtract 378 from 410, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 320 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 26.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8604.97
If we take 294 away from 320, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
260 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8604.976
Subtract 252 from 260 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
42 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8604.9761
Deduct 42 from 80 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 42 fits into 380 9 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 8604.97619
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 378 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 20 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8604.97619
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 13:
200 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8604.9761904
If we take 168 away from 200, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 320 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 26.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8604.97619047
If we subtract 294 from 320, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Our division results in 8604.97619047 with a remaining 2.6e-08.
