274962 divided by 42 
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 274962.

Advancing to step 1:
42 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
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

Moving on to step 2:
42 can be fit into 27 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 27 and we're left with 27.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 274 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 274 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 22.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 252 from 274 to get 22.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 229 / 42

Step 4:
229 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 65.0
Subtracting 210 from 229 leaves us with 19.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 19, then repeat: 196 / 42

Step 5:
42 goes into 196 4 times with a remainder of 28.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 654.0
If we subtract 168 from 196, we get 28.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 282 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
42 goes into 282 6 times with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6546.0
Subtracting 252 from 282 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.

Moving on to step 7:
300 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 6.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6546.7
If we subtract 294 from 300, we 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 42 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6546.71
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 42 from 60.
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.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 6546.714
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 42 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6546.7142
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.

Step 11:
The number 42 fits into 360 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6546.71428
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.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 240 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6546.714285
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.

Step 13:
42 goes into 300 7 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 6546.7142857
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
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: 6546.71428571
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 6546.71428571 with a balance of 1.8e-08.
