Let's divide 277146 by 42
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 277146.

Advancing 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
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 27 0 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 27 to get 27.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 277 / 42

On to step 3:
42 can be fit into 277 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 252 from 277, we get 25.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 251 / 42

Step 4:
42 goes into 251 5 times with a remainder of 41.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 65.0
If we subtract 210 from 251, we get 41.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 41, then repeat: 414 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
42 can be fit into 414 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 659.0
Deduct 378 from 414 and we're left with 36.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 36, then repeat: 366 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 366 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6598.0
Subtracting 336 from 366 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 7:
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: 6598.7
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.

On to step 8:
60 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 18.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6598.71
If we take 42 away from 60, we end up 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.

Step 9:
The number 42 fits into 180 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6598.714
Subtract 168 from 180 to 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.

Advancing to step 10:
42 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 6598.7142
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 11:
If we divide 360 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6598.71428
If we take 336 away from 360, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to 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: 6598.714285
Deduct 210 from 240 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 13:
42 goes into 300 7 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6598.7142857
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.

Step 14:
If we divide 60 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 18.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6598.71428571
Deduct 42 from 60 and we're left 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.

The quotient of the division is 6598.71428571, and the remainder is 1.8e-08.
