We divide 280216 by 42
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 280216.

Step 1:
42 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 42

Step 2:
42 goes into 28 0 times with a remainder of 28.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 28 leaves us with 28.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 280 / 42

On to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 280 6 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 252 from 280 and we're left with 28.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 282 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
42 goes into 282 6 times with a remainder of 30.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 66.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 252 from 282.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 301 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 301 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 667.0
If we take 294 away from 301, we end up with 7.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 76 / 42

On to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 76 1 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6671.0
If we take 42 away from 76, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
42 can be fit into 340 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 6671.8
If we subtract 336 from 340, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 42 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6671.8
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 42 fits into 400 9 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6671.809
If we take 378 away from 400, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
42 can be fit into 220 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6671.8095
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 210 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 100 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6671.80952
If we take 84 away from 100, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 42 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6671.809523
Subtract 126 from 160 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 13:
42 goes into 340 8 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6671.8095238
If we take 336 away from 340, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 40 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 6671.8095238
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 6671.8095238, with a leftover of 4e-08.
