116720 ÷ 42 
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 116720.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 11 / 42

Step 2:
When dividing 11 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 11.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 11 to get 11.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 116 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
42 goes into 116 2 times with a remainder of 32.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 84 from 116 leaves us with 32.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 32 and continue: 327 / 42

On to step 4:
When dividing 327 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 27.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 294 from 327.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 33, then repeat: 332 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
42 can be fit into 332 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 277.0
Subtract 294 from 332 to get 38.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 38 and repeat the process: 380 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
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: 2779.0
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.

Going ahead to step 7:
42 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2779.0
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 42 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2779.04
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 9:
The number 42 fits into 320 7 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2779.047
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.

On to step 10:
260 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2779.0476
Deduct 252 from 260 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 80 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2779.04761
If we take 42 away from 80, we end up 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.

Step 12:
If we divide 380 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2779.047619
Subtract 378 from 380 to 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 13:
20 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2779.047619
Subtract 0 from 20 to 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 14:
When dividing 200 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2779.04761904
If we subtract 168 from 200, 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.

The final result is 2779.04761904 with a remainder of 3.2e-08.
