We're dividing 283260 by 42 
We want to divide 283260 by 42.

Moving on to step 1:
42 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 28 0 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 28 leaves us with 28.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 283 / 42

Step 3:
If we divide 283 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 31.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 252 away from 283, we end up with 31.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 312 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 312 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 67.0
Subtract 294 from 312 to get 18.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 186 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
186 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 674.0
Deduct 168 from 186 and we're left with 18.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 180 / 42

On to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 180 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6744.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 168 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
42 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 6744.2
If we take 84 away from 120, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
42 goes into 360 8 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6744.28
Subtract 336 from 360 to 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.

On to step 9:
42 can be fit into 240 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6744.285
Subtracting 210 from 240 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
42 can be fit into 300 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6744.2857
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 11:
60 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 18.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6744.28571
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
42 goes into 180 4 times with a remainder of 12.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6744.285714
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.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 6744.2857142
Subtracting 84 from 120 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 360 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6744.28571428
Subtract 336 from 360 to 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.

The final outcome is 6744.28571428, with a leftover of 2.4e-08.
