Your input: convert $$$\frac{4100}{42}$$$ into a decimal.

Write the problem in the special format:

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccc}\phantom{9}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{9}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{9}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{6}\end{array}&\\42&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccc}4&1&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 1

How many $$$42$$$'s are in $$$4$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

Write down $$$0$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$4-42 \cdot 0 = 4 - 0= 4$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccccc}\color{Chartreuse}{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{9}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{9}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{9}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{6}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{42}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccccc}\color{Chartreuse}{4}& 1 \downarrow&0&0&.&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllllllllllllll}-&\phantom{1}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}4&1&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 2

How many $$$42$$$'s are in $$$41$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

Write down $$$0$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$41-42 \cdot 0 = 41 - 0= 41$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccccc}0&\color{Green}{0}&\phantom{9}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{9}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{9}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{6}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{42}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccccc}4&1& 0 \downarrow&0&.&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllllllllllllll}-&\phantom{1}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Green}{4}&\color{Green}{1}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{1}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}4&1&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 3

How many $$$42$$$'s are in $$$410$$$?

The answer is $$$9$$$.

Write down $$$9$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$410-42 \cdot 9 = 410 - 378= 32$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccccc}0&0&\color{Purple}{9}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{9}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{9}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{4}&\phantom{7}&\phantom{6}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{42}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccccc}4&1&0& 0 \downarrow&.&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllllllllllllll}-&\phantom{1}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}4&1&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{1}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{Purple}{4}&\color{Purple}{1}&\color{Purple}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{1}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}3&7&8&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&3&2&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 4

How many $$$42$$$'s are in $$$320$$$?
