202974 divided by 42 
We want to divide 202974 by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 20 / 42

Step 2:
20 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 202 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 202 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 168 from 202 leaves us with 34.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 34, then repeat: 349 / 42

On to step 4:
The number 42 fits into 349 8 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 48.0
Subtract 336 from 349 to get 13.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 137 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
42 goes into 137 3 times with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 483.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 126 from 137.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 114 / 42

Step 6:
114 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 30.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4832.0
Deduct 84 from 114 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.

On to step 7:
300 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4832.7
Subtracting 294 from 300 leaves us 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.

On to step 8:
60 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 4832.71
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 42 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 180 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4832.714
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 168 from 180.
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 10:
42 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 4832.7142
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 84 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
42 can be fit into 360 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4832.71428
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
42 can be fit into 240 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4832.714285
If we subtract 210 from 240, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
300 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4832.7142857
Subtract 294 from 300 to 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.

Step 14:
42 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4832.71428571
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.

After the division, we end up with 4832.71428571 and a remainder of 1.8e-08.
