We divide 263801 by 42
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 263801.

Step 1:
2 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 26 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 26 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 0 from 26.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 263 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 263 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 11.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 252 from 263.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 118 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 118 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 34.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 62.0
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 84 from 118.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 34, then carry on: 340 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 340 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 628.0
Subtracting 336 from 340 leaves us with 4.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 41 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 41 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 41.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6280.0
Subtracting 0 from 41 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.

On to step 7:
When dividing 410 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6280.9
If we subtract 378 from 410, we 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.

On to step 8:
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: 6280.97
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 294 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 9:
260 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6280.976
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.

Step 10:
80 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 38.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6280.9761
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 42 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 380 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 2.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6280.97619
Deduct 378 from 380 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 20 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6280.97619
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
42 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6280.9761904
Subtract 168 from 200 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.

On to step 14:
320 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6280.97619047
If we take 294 away from 320, we end up 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.

Our division results in 6280.97619047 with a remaining 2.6e-08.
