42947491 divided by 241 
We want to figure out the number of times 42947491 can be divided by 241.

On to step 1:
The number 241 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 42 / 241

Advancing to step 2:
The number 241 fits into 42 0 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 42, we end up with 42.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 429 / 241

Advancing to step 3:
The number 241 fits into 429 1 times, leaving a remainder of 188.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 241 from 429 to get 188.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 188, then carry on: 1884 / 241

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 1884 by 241, we get 7 with a remainder of 197.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtract 1687 from 1884 to get 197.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 197 and repeat the process: 1977 / 241

Advancing to step 5:
The number 241 fits into 1977 8 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 178.0
Subtract 1928 from 1977 to get 49.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 49 and continue with: 494 / 241

Let's proceed to step 6:
241 can be fit into 494 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1782.0
Deduct 482 from 494 and we're left with 12.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 129 / 241

Moving on to step 7:
129 divided by 241 is 0 with a remainder of 129.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17820.0
If we subtract 0 from 129, we get 129.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 129, then repeat: 1291 / 241

On to step 8:
The number 241 fits into 1291 5 times, leaving a remainder of 86.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 178205.0
Subtract 1205 from 1291 to get 86.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 860 by 241, we get 3 and a remainder of 137.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 178205.3
Subtract 723 from 860 to get 137.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1370, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 1370 by 241, we get 5 with a remainder of 165.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 178205.35
The remainder is 165 after subtracting 1205 from 1370.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1650, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 241 fits into 1650 6 times, leaving a remainder of 204.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 178205.356
If we subtract 1446 from 1650, we get 204.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2040, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 2040 by 241, we get 8 and a remainder of 112.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 178205.3568
Subtract 1928 from 2040 to get 112.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1120, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 1120 by 241, we get 4 and a remainder of 156.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 178205.35684
Subtract 964 from 1120 to get 156.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1560, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
241 goes into 1560 6 times with a remainder of 114.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 178205.356846
The remainder is 114 after subtracting 1446 from 1560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1140, and continue the process.

Step 15:
When dividing 1140 by 241, we get 4 with a remainder of 176.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 178205.3568464
If we take 964 away from 1140, we end up with 176.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1760, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
When dividing 1760 by 241, we get 7 with a remainder of 73.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 178205.35684647
The remainder is 73 after subtracting 1687 from 1760.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Our division results in 178205.35684647 with a remaining 7.3e-08.
