Let's divide 356146 by 42
We want to figure out the number of times 356146 can be divided by 42.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 35 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 35 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 35 and we're left with 35.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 356 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
42 can be fit into 356 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 336 from 356, we get 20.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 201 / 42

Step 4:
When dividing 201 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 84.0
Subtract 168 from 201 to get 33.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 33 and continue: 334 / 42

Step 5:
42 can be fit into 334 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 847.0
If we subtract 294 from 334, we get 40.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 406 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
406 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 28.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8479.0
If we subtract 378 from 406, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 280 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 28.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8479.6
Subtracting 252 from 280 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 280 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8479.66
If we subtract 252 from 280, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

The final result is 8479.66 with a remainder of 0.028.
