26454 divided by 42 
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 26454.

On to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 26 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
42 goes into 26 0 times with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 0 from 26.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 264 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 264 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 252 from 264.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 125 / 42

Step 4:
42 goes into 125 2 times with a remainder of 41.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 62.0
If we take 84 away from 125, we end up with 41.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 41, then repeat: 414 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 414 9 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 629.0
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 378 from 414.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
360 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 629.8
Deduct 336 from 360 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 240 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 629.85
Subtracting 210 from 240 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
42 goes into 300 7 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 629.857
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 294 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 60 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 629.8571
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.

On to step 10:
The number 42 fits into 180 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 629.85714
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.

Advancing to step 11:
42 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 36.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 629.857142
If we subtract 84 from 120, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
360 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 629.8571428
Deduct 336 from 360 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 240 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 629.85714285
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.

The final result is 629.85714285 with a remainder of 3e-08.
