260967 divided by 42 
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 260967.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 26 / 42

On to step 2:
42 goes into 26 0 times with a remainder of 26.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 26, we end up with 26.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 260 / 42

On to step 3:
42 can be fit into 260 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 252 from 260, we get 8.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 89 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 89 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 5.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 62.0
If we take 84 away from 89, we end up with 5.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 56 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 56 1 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 621.0
Subtract 42 from 56 to get 14.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 147 / 42

On to step 6:
147 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 21.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6213.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 126 from 147.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 210 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6213.5
Subtract 210 from 210 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
0 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6213.5
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 42 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6213.5
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 6213.5 and a remainder of 0.0.
