Let's divide 269845 by 42
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 269845.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 26 / 42

Step 2:
The number 42 fits into 26 0 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 26 leaves us with 26.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 269 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
42 can be fit into 269 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 252 away from 269, we end up with 17.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 178 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
42 goes into 178 4 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 64.0
If we take 168 away from 178, we end up with 10.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 104 / 42

Step 5:
42 can be fit into 104 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 642.0
Subtract 84 from 104 to get 20.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 205 / 42

On to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 205 4 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6424.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 168 from 205.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 42 fits into 370 8 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 6424.8
Subtract 336 from 370 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
42 can be fit into 340 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6424.88
If we subtract 336 from 340, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Our division results in 6424.88 with a remaining 0.004.
