269357 ÷ 42 
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 269357.

Step 1:
42 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 26 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
42 can be fit into 26 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 26 leaves us with 26.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 269 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
269 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 17.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 252 from 269 to get 17.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 173 / 42

Step 4:
If we divide 173 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 5.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 64.0
Subtract 168 from 173 to get 5.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 55 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
42 goes into 55 1 times with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 641.0
If we subtract 42 from 55, we get 13.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 137 / 42

Step 6:
42 can be fit into 137 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6413.0
Deduct 126 from 137 and we're left with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
42 goes into 110 2 times with a remainder of 26.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6413.2
If we subtract 84 from 110, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
260 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6413.26
Subtracting 252 from 260 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
42 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6413.261
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 42 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 380 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6413.2619
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 378 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 42 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6413.2619
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 200 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6413.261904
Deduct 168 from 200 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
42 goes into 320 7 times with a remainder of 26.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6413.2619047
Subtracting 294 from 320 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 14:
42 goes into 260 6 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6413.26190476
If we take 252 away from 260, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 6413.26190476 with a balance of 8e-09.
