305609 divided by 42 
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 305609.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 30 / 42

Step 2:
When dividing 30 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left with 30.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 305 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 305 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 11.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 294 away from 305, we end up with 11.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 116 / 42

Step 4:
When dividing 116 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 72.0
Deduct 84 from 116 and we're left with 32.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 320 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
320 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 26.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 727.0
Deduct 294 from 320 and we're left with 26.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 269 / 42

On to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 269 6 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7276.0
Subtract 252 from 269 to get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 170 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 2.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7276.4
If we subtract 168 from 170, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
20 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7276.4
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 200 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7276.404
Subtract 168 from 200 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 320 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7276.4047
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 294 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
42 goes into 260 6 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7276.40476
If we subtract 252 from 260, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
42 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7276.404761
If we take 42 away from 80, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 42 fits into 380 9 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7276.4047619
Deduct 378 from 380 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 42 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7276.4047619
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.

Our division results in 7276.4047619 with a remaining 2e-08.
