Let's divide 42961331 by 280
We want to figure out the number of times 42961331 can be divided by 280.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 280 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 42 / 280

Going ahead to step 2:
42 divided by 280 is 0 with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 42 to get 42.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 429 / 280

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 280 fits into 429 1 times, leaving a remainder of 149.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 280 from 429 and we're left with 149.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 149, then repeat: 1496 / 280

On to step 4:
When dividing 1496 by 280, we get 5 with a remainder of 96.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtract 1400 from 1496 to get 96.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 96 and continue: 961 / 280

Step 5:
280 goes into 961 3 times with a remainder of 121.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 153.0
The remainder is 121 after subtracting 840 from 961.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 121, then repeat: 1213 / 280

On to step 6:
1213 divided by 280 is 4 with a remainder of 93.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1534.0
The remainder is 93 after subtracting 1120 from 1213.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 93 and continue: 933 / 280

Advancing to step 7:
280 can be fit into 933 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 93.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15343.0
Subtracting 840 from 933 leaves us with 93.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 93, then repeat: 931 / 280

Moving on to step 8:
The number 280 fits into 931 3 times, leaving a remainder of 91.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 153433.0
If we take 840 away from 931, we end up with 91.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 910, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 910 by 280, we get 3 and a remainder of 70.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 153433.3
Subtracting 840 from 910 leaves us with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 700 by 280, we get 2 and a remainder of 140.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 153433.32
If we subtract 560 from 700, we get 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 280 fits into 1400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 153433.325
Subtracting 1400 from 1400 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 280 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 153433.325
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
280 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 153433.325
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final result is 153433.325 with a remainder of 0.0.
