We divide 266262 by 42
We want to figure out the number of times 266262 can be divided by 42.

Going ahead to step 1:
42 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 26 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 26 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 26 to get 26.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 266 / 42

On to step 3:
When dividing 266 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 14.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 252 from 266, we get 14.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 142 / 42

Step 4:
If we divide 142 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 63.0
If we take 126 away from 142, we end up with 16.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 166 / 42

On to step 5:
166 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 40.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 633.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 126 from 166.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 402 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 402 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6339.0
If we subtract 378 from 402, we get 24.
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 7:
42 can be fit into 240 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6339.5
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.

Step 8:
42 goes into 300 7 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 6339.57
Deduct 294 from 300 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 60 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6339.571
Subtract 42 from 60 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
42 goes into 180 4 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6339.5714
Subtracting 168 from 180 leaves us 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.

On to step 11:
42 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 36.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6339.57142
Subtracting 84 from 120 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 360 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6339.571428
Deduct 336 from 360 and we're left 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.

Step 13:
42 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6339.5714285
Deduct 210 from 240 and we're left 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.

Step 14:
If we divide 300 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 6.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6339.57142857
Deduct 294 from 300 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 6339.57142857, with a leftover of 6e-09.
