247134 divided by 42 
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 247134.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 24 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
42 can be fit into 24 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 24 to get 24.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 247 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
42 can be fit into 247 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 210 from 247 to get 37.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 371 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
42 can be fit into 371 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 58.0
If we take 336 away from 371, we end up with 35.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 35 and continue: 353 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 353 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 17.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 588.0
If we take 336 away from 353, we end up with 17.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 174 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
174 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 6.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5884.0
Deduct 168 from 174 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.

Step 7:
42 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 18.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5884.1
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.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 42 fits into 180 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5884.14
If we take 168 away from 180, we end up 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.

On to step 9:
If we divide 120 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5884.142
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
42 can be fit into 360 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5884.1428
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
240 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5884.14285
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 12:
The number 42 fits into 300 7 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5884.142857
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 13:
The number 42 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5884.1428571
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.

Advancing to step 14:
42 goes into 180 4 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5884.14285714
If we take 168 away from 180, we end up 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 5884.14285714 with a balance of 1.2e-08.
