4042 divided by 2 
We're looking to find how many times 2 goes into 4042.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 2 fits into 4 2 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 4 from 4.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 0 / 2

Moving on to step 2:
2 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20.0
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 4 / 2

Step 3:
2 can be fit into 4 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 202.0
Deduct 4 from 4 and we're left with 0.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 2 / 2

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 2 by 2, we get 1 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2021.0
If we subtract 2 from 2, 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.

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 2 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2021.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 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 6:
If we divide 0 by 2, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2021.0
Subtract 0 from 0 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.

After the division, we end up with 2021.0 and a remainder of 0.0.
