216409 divided by 42 
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 216409.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 21 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
42 can be fit into 21 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 21 and we're left with 21.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 216 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
216 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 210 from 216.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 64 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
42 goes into 64 1 times with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 51.0
Deduct 42 from 64 and we're left with 22.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 220 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 220 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 515.0
Subtracting 210 from 220 leaves us with 10.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 109 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
42 can be fit into 109 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5152.0
If we subtract 84 from 109, 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.

On to step 7:
42 goes into 250 5 times with a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5152.5
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 210 from 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 400 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 22.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5152.59
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.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 220 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5152.595
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
42 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5152.5952
Subtracting 84 from 100 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 42 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5152.59523
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.

On to step 12:
The number 42 fits into 340 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5152.595238
Deduct 336 from 340 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5152.595238
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 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 14:
42 goes into 400 9 times with a remainder of 22.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5152.59523809
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 378 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 5152.59523809, and the remainder is 2.2e-08.
