We divide 291741 by 42
Our goal is to divide 291741 by 42.

Advancing to step 1:
42 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 29 / 42

On to step 2:
When dividing 29 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 29.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 0 from 29.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 291 / 42

Step 3:
42 goes into 291 6 times with a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 252 away from 291, we end up with 39.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 39, then repeat: 397 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
The number 42 fits into 397 9 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 69.0
Deduct 378 from 397 and we're left with 19.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 194 / 42

On to step 5:
42 can be fit into 194 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 694.0
Subtracting 168 from 194 leaves us with 26.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 261 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 261 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 9.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6946.0
If we subtract 252 from 261, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
42 goes into 90 2 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6946.2
Subtracting 84 from 90 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
60 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6946.21
If we subtract 42 from 60, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
42 can be fit into 180 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6946.214
Deduct 168 from 180 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 42 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6946.2142
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 84 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
360 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6946.21428
If we subtract 336 from 360, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 12:
42 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6946.214285
Subtract 210 from 240 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 300 7 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6946.2142857
If we take 294 away from 300, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
42 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6946.21428571
If we subtract 42 from 60, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 6946.21428571, and the remainder is 1.8e-08.
