We divide 355492 by 42
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 355492.

Step 1:
When dividing 3 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 35 / 42

Step 2:
42 can be fit into 35 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 35 leaves us with 35.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 35, then carry on: 355 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
42 can be fit into 355 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 336 from 355 to get 19.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 194 / 42

On to step 4:
194 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 26.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 84.0
Subtracting 168 from 194 leaves us with 26.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 269 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
42 goes into 269 6 times with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 846.0
Subtracting 252 from 269 leaves us with 17.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 172 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
42 goes into 172 4 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8464.0
If we subtract 168 from 172, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
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: 8464.0
If we subtract 0 from 40, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
400 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 22.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8464.09
If we subtract 378 from 400, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 9:
220 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8464.095
Subtract 210 from 220 to 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.

On to step 10:
When dividing 100 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8464.0952
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.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 160 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 8464.09523
Subtracting 126 from 160 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 12:
42 can be fit into 340 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8464.095238
Subtract 336 from 340 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
40 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8464.095238
If we subtract 0 from 40, we 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
400 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 22.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8464.09523809
If we take 378 away from 400, we end up 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.

Our division results in 8464.09523809 with a remaining 2.2e-08.
