247211 ÷ 42 
We want to figure out the number of times 247211 can be divided by 42.

Moving on to step 1:
42 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 24 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 24 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 24.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 24, we get 24.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 247 / 42

Step 3:
42 can be fit into 247 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 210 from 247.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 372 / 42

On to step 4:
42 can be fit into 372 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 58.0
If we take 336 away from 372, we end up with 36.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 36, then repeat: 361 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
42 goes into 361 8 times with a remainder of 25.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 588.0
If we take 336 away from 361, we end up with 25.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 251 / 42

On to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 251 5 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5885.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 210 from 251.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 410 9 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5885.9
Subtract 378 from 410 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.

Advancing to step 8:
42 goes into 320 7 times with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5885.97
Deduct 294 from 320 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
42 can be fit into 260 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5885.976
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 80 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 38.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5885.9761
Deduct 42 from 80 and we're left 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.

On to step 11:
42 can be fit into 380 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5885.97619
If we take 378 away from 380, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
20 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5885.97619
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 200 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5885.9761904
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.

Step 14:
If we divide 320 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 26.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5885.97619047
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.

The quotient of the division is 5885.97619047, and the remainder is 2.6e-08.
