297905 ÷ 42 
Our goal is to divide 297905 by 42.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 29 / 42

Step 2:
If we divide 29 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 29.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 0 from 29.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 297 / 42

Step 3:
42 can be fit into 297 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 294 away from 297, we end up with 3.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 39 / 42

Step 4:
The number 42 fits into 39 0 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 70.0
Subtract 0 from 39 to get 39.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 39 and continue with: 390 / 42

On to step 5:
42 goes into 390 9 times with a remainder of 12.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 709.0
Subtracting 378 from 390 leaves us with 12.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 125 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
125 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7092.0
Subtracting 84 from 125 leaves us with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
410 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 32.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7092.9
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.

Step 8:
42 goes into 320 7 times with a remainder of 26.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7092.97
Subtracting 294 from 320 leaves us 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.

On to step 9:
The number 42 fits into 260 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7092.976
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 252 from 260.
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:
The number 42 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7092.9761
If we take 42 away from 80, we end up 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.

Step 11:
If we divide 380 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7092.97619
Subtracting 378 from 380 leaves us 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.

On to step 12:
When dividing 20 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7092.97619
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us 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.

On to step 13:
If we divide 200 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7092.9761904
Subtracting 168 from 200 leaves us 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:
The number 42 fits into 320 7 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7092.97619047
If we subtract 294 from 320, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

The final result is 7092.97619047 with a remainder of 2.6e-08.
