Let's divide 285276 by 42
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 285276.

Advancing to step 1:
42 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
42 goes into 28 0 times with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 28, we get 28.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 285 / 42

Step 3:
42 goes into 285 6 times with a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 252 from 285 and we're left with 33.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 332 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
332 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 38.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 67.0
If we subtract 294 from 332, we get 38.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 38, then repeat: 387 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
387 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 679.0
If we take 378 away from 387, we end up with 9.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 96 / 42

Step 6:
42 goes into 96 2 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 6792.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 84 from 96.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
42 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6792.2
Deduct 84 from 120 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 360 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6792.28
Deduct 336 from 360 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
42 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6792.285
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 210 from 240.
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 10:
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: 6792.2857
Subtracting 294 from 300 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 11:
42 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 6792.28571
If we subtract 42 from 60, we get 18.
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 12:
If we divide 180 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6792.285714
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 168 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
42 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 36.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6792.2857142
If we take 84 away from 120, we end up with 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 14:
360 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 6792.28571428
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.

Our division results in 6792.28571428 with a remaining 2.4e-08.
