We look at the division of 266667 by 42 
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 266667.

Going ahead to step 1:
2 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 26 / 42

On to step 2:
42 goes into 26 0 times with a remainder of 26.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 26, we end up with 26.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 266 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 266 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 14.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 252 away from 266, we end up with 14.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 146 / 42

On to step 4:
146 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 20.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 63.0
If we take 126 away from 146, we end up with 20.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 206 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 206 4 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 634.0
Deduct 168 from 206 and we're left with 38.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 38 and continue: 387 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 387 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 9.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6349.0
If we take 378 away from 387, we end up with 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:
The number 42 fits into 90 2 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6349.2
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 60 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6349.21
Subtract 42 from 60 to 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.

Step 9:
180 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6349.214
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 120 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 36.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6349.2142
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.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 42 fits into 360 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6349.21428
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 336 from 360.
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:
The number 42 fits into 240 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 6349.214285
If we subtract 210 from 240, we 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 13:
300 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 6.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6349.2142857
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 294 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
42 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 6349.21428571
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.

Our division results in 6349.21428571 with a remaining 1.8e-08.
