327917 ÷ 42 
We want to figure out the number of times 327917 can be divided by 42.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 3 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 32 / 42

On to step 2:
42 can be fit into 32 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 32 and we're left with 32.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 32, then carry on: 327 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
42 can be fit into 327 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 294 away from 327, we end up with 33.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 339 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 339 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 3.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 78.0
Subtract 336 from 339 to get 3.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 31 / 42

Step 5:
If we divide 31 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 780.0
Subtract 0 from 31 to get 31.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 317 / 42

On to step 6:
317 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 23.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7807.0
If we subtract 294 from 317, we get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 230 5 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7807.5
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 210 from 230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
200 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7807.54
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
42 can be fit into 320 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7807.547
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 294 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 10:
260 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7807.5476
Subtracting 252 from 260 leaves us with 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 11:
If we divide 80 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 38.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7807.54761
Subtract 42 from 80 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
42 can be fit into 380 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7807.547619
If we take 378 away from 380, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 20 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 7807.547619
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 200 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7807.54761904
Subtract 168 from 200 to 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.

Our division results in 7807.54761904 with a remaining 3.2e-08.
