We look at the division of 281750 by 42 
We want to figure out the number of times 281750 can be divided by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 28 0 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 28 to get 28.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 281 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 281 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 29.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 252 away from 281, we end up with 29.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 297 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
42 can be fit into 297 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 67.0
Subtract 294 from 297 to get 3.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 35 / 42

On to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 35 0 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 670.0
Subtracting 0 from 35 leaves us with 35.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 35 and continue: 350 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
42 goes into 350 8 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6708.0
Deduct 336 from 350 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
42 goes into 140 3 times with a remainder of 14.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6708.3
Subtracting 126 from 140 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
140 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 6708.33
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 126 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Our division results in 6708.33 with a remaining 0.014.
