We divide 297914 by 42
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 297914.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 29 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
42 goes into 29 0 times with a remainder of 29.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 0 from 29.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 297 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
297 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 294 from 297 leaves us with 3.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 39 / 42

Step 4:
When dividing 39 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 39.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 70.0
If we take 0 away from 39, we end up with 39.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 39, then repeat: 391 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 391 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 709.0
If we take 378 away from 391, we end up with 13.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 134 / 42

On to step 6:
42 goes into 134 3 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7093.0
Subtract 126 from 134 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 42 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7093.1
If we take 42 away from 80, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 8:
42 can be fit into 380 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7093.19
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
42 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7093.19
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.

On to step 10:
200 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7093.1904
If we take 168 away from 200, we end up 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.

On to step 11:
42 goes into 320 7 times with a remainder of 26.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7093.19047
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 294 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 12:
42 can be fit into 260 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7093.190476
Subtracting 252 from 260 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
80 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7093.1904761
Deduct 42 from 80 and we're left with 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 14:
If we divide 380 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7093.19047619
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.

After the division, we end up with 7093.19047619 and a remainder of 2e-09.
