We look at the division of 287505 by 42 
Our goal is to divide 287505 by 42.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 42

On to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 28 0 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 0 from 28.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 287 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
42 can be fit into 287 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 252 from 287.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 355 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
42 can be fit into 355 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 68.0
If we take 336 away from 355, we end up with 19.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 190 / 42

On to step 5:
42 goes into 190 4 times with a remainder of 22.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 684.0
If we take 168 away from 190, we end up with 22.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 225 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
42 goes into 225 5 times with a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6845.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 210 from 225.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 7:
42 goes into 150 3 times with a remainder of 24.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6845.3
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 126 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
42 can be fit into 240 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6845.35
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 210 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 300 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6845.357
If we subtract 294 from 300, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
42 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 18.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6845.3571
If we take 42 away from 60, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
180 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6845.35714
Deduct 168 from 180 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 120 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 36.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6845.357142
Deduct 84 from 120 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
42 can be fit into 360 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 6845.3571428
Subtracting 336 from 360 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
240 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6845.35714285
If we take 210 away from 240, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 6845.35714285 with a balance of 3e-08.
