272633 divided by 42 
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 272633.

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
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 42

On to step 2:
27 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 27.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 27 and we're left with 27.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 272 / 42

On to step 3:
272 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 252 from 272, we get 20.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 206 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 206 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 64.0
Subtract 168 from 206 to get 38.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 38, then repeat: 383 / 42

On to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 383 9 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 649.0
If we subtract 378 from 383, we get 5.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 53 / 42

On to step 6:
When dividing 53 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6491.0
If we subtract 42 from 53, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
110 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6491.2
Subtracting 84 from 110 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.

On to step 8:
42 goes into 260 6 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6491.26
Subtracting 252 from 260 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 9:
80 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 6491.261
Subtracting 42 from 80 leaves us 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 10:
42 goes into 380 9 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6491.2619
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 378 from 380.
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 11:
The number 42 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6491.2619
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.

Moving on to step 12:
200 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6491.261904
Subtracting 168 from 200 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 320 7 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6491.2619047
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.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 260 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6491.26190476
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 252 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Our division results in 6491.26190476 with a remaining 8e-09.
