296526 ÷ 42 
We want to figure out the number of times 296526 can be divided by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
42 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 29 / 42

On to step 2:
If we divide 29 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 29.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 0 from 29.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 296 / 42

Step 3:
42 goes into 296 7 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 294 from 296.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 25 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
25 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 70.0
If we take 0 away from 25, we end up with 25.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 252 / 42

Step 5:
42 can be fit into 252 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 706.0
Subtract 252 from 252 to get 0.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 6 / 42

On to step 6:
42 can be fit into 6 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7060.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we 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.

Advancing to step 7:
60 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 18.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7060.1
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.

Advancing to step 8:
180 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 7060.14
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.

On to step 9:
42 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 36.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7060.142
If we subtract 84 from 120, we 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.

Step 10:
If we divide 360 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7060.1428
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.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 240 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7060.14285
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.

Step 12:
42 goes into 300 7 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7060.142857
Deduct 294 from 300 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 13:
42 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 18.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7060.1428571
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.

Moving on to step 14:
180 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7060.14285714
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.

The final result is 7060.14285714 with a remainder of 1.2e-08.
