290544 ÷ 42 
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 290544.

Advancing to step 1:
42 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 29 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 29 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 29.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 29 and we're left with 29.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 290 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 290 6 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 252 from 290 to get 38.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 38 and repeat the process: 385 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 385 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 69.0
If we take 378 away from 385, we end up with 7.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 74 / 42

Step 5:
The number 42 fits into 74 1 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 691.0
Subtracting 42 from 74 leaves us with 32.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 32 and continue: 324 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 324 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 30.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6917.0
Deduct 294 from 324 and we're left 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 7:
300 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6917.7
Subtract 294 from 300 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 42 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6917.71
Subtract 42 from 60 to 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 9:
42 can be fit into 180 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6917.714
Subtracting 168 from 180 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.

Step 10:
120 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 6917.7142
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 11:
If we divide 360 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6917.71428
Subtracting 336 from 360 leaves us 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 12:
If we divide 240 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6917.714285
Subtract 210 from 240 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 300 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 6.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6917.7142857
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 294 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 42 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6917.71428571
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.

The final result is 6917.71428571 with a remainder of 1.8e-08.
