We're dividing 281420 by 42 
We want to figure out the number of times 281420 can be divided by 42.

Going ahead to step 1:
42 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 28 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 28 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 28.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 28, we end up with 28.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 281 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 281 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 252 from 281 and we're left with 29.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 294 / 42

On to step 4:
42 can be fit into 294 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 67.0
If we subtract 294 from 294, we get 0.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 2 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 670.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 20 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
42 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6700.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 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 7:
When dividing 200 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 6700.4
Subtract 168 from 200 to 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.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 42 fits into 320 7 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6700.47
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.

Step 9:
42 goes into 260 6 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6700.476
If we take 252 away from 260, we end up 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 10:
When dividing 80 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 6700.4761
Subtract 42 from 80 to 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.

Advancing to step 11:
42 can be fit into 380 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6700.47619
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 12:
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: 6700.47619
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.

Step 13:
200 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6700.4761904
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
42 goes into 320 7 times with a remainder of 26.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6700.47619047
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.

The final outcome is 6700.47619047, with a leftover of 2.6e-08.
