We're dividing 264672 by 42 
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 264672.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 26 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
42 goes into 26 0 times with a remainder of 26.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 26 leaves us with 26.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 264 / 42

Step 3:
42 can be fit into 264 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 252 from 264.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 126 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
42 goes into 126 3 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 63.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 126 from 126.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 7 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 7 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 630.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 72 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 72 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6301.0
If we subtract 42 from 72, 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.

Step 7:
300 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 6.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6301.7
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:
42 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 18.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6301.71
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
42 can be fit into 180 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6301.714
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.

Moving on to step 10:
42 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 36.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6301.7142
Deduct 84 from 120 and we're left 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 11:
The number 42 fits into 360 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6301.71428
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.

Moving on to step 12:
42 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 6301.714285
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.

Moving on to step 13:
42 goes into 300 7 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 6301.7142857
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.

Going ahead to 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: 6301.71428571
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.

The quotient of the division is 6301.71428571, and the remainder is 1.8e-08.
