Let's divide 264168 by 42
We want to figure out the number of times 264168 can be divided by 42.

On to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 26 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 26 0 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 26, we end up with 26.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 264 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 264 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 12.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 252 from 264, we get 12.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 121 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
42 goes into 121 2 times with a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 62.0
Deduct 84 from 121 and we're left with 37.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 37 and repeat the process: 376 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 376 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 628.0
If we subtract 336 from 376, we get 40.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 408 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 408 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6289.0
Subtract 378 from 408 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 300 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6289.7
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 8:
60 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 18.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6289.71
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.

Moving on to step 9:
180 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6289.714
Deduct 168 from 180 and we're left 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.

Step 10:
When dividing 120 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 36.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6289.7142
Subtract 84 from 120 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 42 fits into 360 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6289.71428
Subtract 336 from 360 to 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.

Advancing to step 12:
240 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 6289.714285
Subtracting 210 from 240 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 300 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6289.7142857
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 294 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
42 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 18.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6289.71428571
Subtracting 42 from 60 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 6289.71428571, and the remainder is 1.8e-08.
