Let's divide 294290 by 42
We want to divide 294290 by 42.

Moving on 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.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 29 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 29 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 29, we get 29.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 294 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 294 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 0.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 294 from 294 leaves us with 0.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 2 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
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: 70.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 29 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 29 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 29.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 700.0
Deduct 0 from 29 and we're left with 29.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 290 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 290 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 38.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7006.0
If we subtract 252 from 290, we get 38.
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 7:
42 can be fit into 380 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7006.9
If we subtract 378 from 380, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
42 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 7006.9
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.

Advancing to step 9:
42 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7006.904
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 168 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
42 can be fit into 320 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7006.9047
Subtracting 294 from 320 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 260 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7006.90476
Subtract 252 from 260 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
42 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7006.904761
Deduct 42 from 80 and we're left with 38.
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 13:
When dividing 380 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 2.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7006.9047619
If we take 378 away from 380, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 20 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 7006.9047619
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

The final result is 7006.9047619 with a remainder of 2e-08.
