Let's divide 394741 by 42
We want to figure out the number of times 394741 can be divided by 42.

Going ahead to step 1:
42 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 39 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 39 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 39.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 39 to get 39.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 39, then repeat: 394 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
42 goes into 394 9 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we subtract 378 from 394, we get 16.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 167 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 167 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 41.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 93.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 126 from 167.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 41, then carry on: 414 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 414 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 939.0
If we take 378 away from 414, we end up with 36.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 361 / 42

On to step 6:
When dividing 361 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 25.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9398.0
If we subtract 336 from 361, we get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 7:
42 goes into 250 5 times with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 9398.5
Subtract 210 from 250 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 400 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 9398.59
Deduct 378 from 400 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 220 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9398.595
If we subtract 210 from 220, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 10:
42 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9398.5952
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 84 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
42 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9398.59523
If we subtract 126 from 160, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 340 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9398.595238
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 336 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9398.595238
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left 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 14:
If we divide 400 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 22.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9398.59523809
Deduct 378 from 400 and we're left 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.

The final result is 9398.59523809 with a remainder of 2.2e-08.
