Let's divide 104880 by 42
We want to divide 104880 by 42.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 10 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 10 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 104 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
42 goes into 104 2 times with a remainder of 20.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 84 from 104, we get 20.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 208 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 208 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we subtract 168 from 208, we get 40.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 408 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 408 9 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 249.0
Subtracting 378 from 408 leaves us with 30.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 30 and continue with: 300 / 42

Step 6:
If we divide 300 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2497.0
Subtract 294 from 300 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
42 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2497.1
Subtracting 42 from 60 leaves us with 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 8:
42 can be fit into 180 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2497.14
If we subtract 168 from 180, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 9:
120 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2497.142
Subtract 84 from 120 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 10:
42 can be fit into 360 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2497.1428
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 240 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2497.14285
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 42 fits into 300 7 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2497.142857
Deduct 294 from 300 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
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: 2497.1428571
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 42 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 180 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2497.14285714
If we subtract 168 from 180, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

The final result is 2497.14285714 with a remainder of 1.2e-08.
