42880 ÷ 42 
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 42880.

Going ahead to step 1:
42 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 42 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 42 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 42 from 42 to get 0.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 8 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
8 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 88 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
42 can be fit into 88 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 102.0
Subtract 84 from 88 to get 4.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 40 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 40 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1020.0
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 400 9 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1020.9
If we take 378 away from 400, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 220 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1020.95
If we subtract 210 from 220, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 100 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1020.952
If we subtract 84 from 100, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 42 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1020.9523
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 126 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 42 fits into 340 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1020.95238
Subtracting 336 from 340 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
42 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1020.95238
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 42 fits into 400 9 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1020.9523809
If we subtract 378 from 400, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 220 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1020.95238095
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 210 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 1020.95238095 with a balance of 1e-08.
