We look at the division of 284743 by 42 
Our goal is to divide 284743 by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 divided by 42 is 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.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 28 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 28, we get 28.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 284 / 42

On to step 3:
284 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 252 from 284 and we're left with 32.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 32, then repeat: 327 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 327 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 67.0
Subtracting 294 from 327 leaves us with 33.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 33 and repeat the process: 334 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
42 goes into 334 7 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 677.0
If we take 294 away from 334, we end up with 40.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 403 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
42 goes into 403 9 times with a remainder of 25.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6779.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 378 from 403.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 250 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6779.5
Deduct 210 from 250 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 42 fits into 400 9 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6779.59
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 378 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
42 can be fit into 220 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6779.595
Subtracting 210 from 220 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
100 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6779.5952
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 84 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 42 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 6779.59523
If we take 126 away from 160, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 340 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6779.595238
Subtracting 336 from 340 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 40 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6779.595238
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 14:
42 goes into 400 9 times with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6779.59523809
If we take 378 away from 400, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 6779.59523809, and the remainder is 2.2e-08.
