We look at the division of 273474 by 42 
We want to figure out the number of times 273474 can be divided by 42.

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
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 27 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 27.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 27 to get 27.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 273 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 273 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 252 away from 273, we end up with 21.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 214 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
42 can be fit into 214 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 65.0
If we take 210 away from 214, we end up with 4.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 47 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 47 1 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 651.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 42 from 47.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 54 / 42

On to step 6:
If we divide 54 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 12.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6511.0
Subtracting 42 from 54 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6511.2
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.

Moving on to step 8:
360 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6511.28
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 336 from 360.
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:
If we divide 240 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6511.285
Subtracting 210 from 240 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 10:
42 can be fit into 300 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6511.2857
Deduct 294 from 300 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 60 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6511.28571
Subtracting 42 from 60 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
180 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6511.285714
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:
The number 42 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6511.2857142
Subtract 84 from 120 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
42 goes into 360 8 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6511.28571428
If we take 336 away from 360, we end up 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.

The final outcome is 6511.28571428, with a leftover of 2.4e-08.
