We divide 296419 by 42
Our goal is to divide 296419 by 42.

Step 1:
When dividing 2 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 29 / 42

On to step 2:
42 can be fit into 29 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 29 leaves us with 29.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 296 / 42

On to step 3:
296 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 294 from 296 to get 2.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 24 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
24 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 70.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 0 from 24.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 241 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 241 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 31.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 705.0
Subtract 210 from 241 to get 31.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 319 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
319 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 25.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7057.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 294 from 319.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
250 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7057.5
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 210 from 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
42 goes into 400 9 times with a remainder of 22.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7057.59
Deduct 378 from 400 and we're left 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 9:
The number 42 fits into 220 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7057.595
Subtract 210 from 220 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 100 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7057.5952
Deduct 84 from 100 and we're left 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.

On to step 11:
160 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7057.59523
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 126 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
42 goes into 340 8 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 7057.595238
Subtracting 336 from 340 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 40 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7057.595238
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 400 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 22.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7057.59523809
Deduct 378 from 400 and we're left 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 7057.59523809 with a balance of 2.2e-08.
