$42 \div 0.02$

Step 1

Set up the division problem in long division format.

$0$

$2$

$4$

$2$

Step 2

Move the decimal the same amount of places in both numbers until the divisor is a whole number.

$2$

$4$

$2$

$0$

Step 3

Divide $4$ by $2$ . Place this digit in the quotient on top of the division symbol.

	$2$
$2$	$4$	$2$	$0$	$0$

Step 4

Multiply the newest quotient digit $(2)$ by the divisor $2$ .

	$2$
$2$	$4$	$2$	$0$	$0$
$-$	$4$

Step 5

Subtract $4$ from $4$ .

	$2$
$2$	$4$	$2$	$0$	$0$
$-$	$4$
	$0$

Step 6

Bring down the next number of the dividend.

	$2$
$2$	$4$	$2$	$0$	$0$
$-$	$4$
	$0$	$2$

Step 7

Divide $2$ by $2$ . Place this digit in the quotient on top of the division symbol.

	$2$	$1$
$2$	$4$	$2$	$0$	$0$
$-$	$4$
	$0$	$2$

Step 8

Multiply the newest quotient digit $(1)$ by the divisor $2$ .

	$2$	$1$
$2$	$4$	$2$	$0$	$0$
$-$	$4$
	$0$	$2$
$-$		$2$

Step 9

Subtract $2$ from $2$ .

	$2$	$1$
$2$	$4$	$2$	$0$	$0$
$-$	$4$
	$0$	$2$
$-$		$2$
		$0$

Step 10

Bring down the next number of the dividend.

	$2$	$1$
$2$	$4$	$2$	$0$	$0$
$-$	$4$
	$0$	$2$
$-$		$2$
		$0$	$0$

Step 11

Divide $0$ by $2$ . Place this digit in the quotient on top of the division symbol.

	$2$	$1$	$0$
$2$	$4$	$2$	$0$	$0$
$-$	$4$
	$0$	$2$
$-$		$2$
		$0$	$0$

Step 12

Multiply the newest quotient digit $(0)$ by the divisor $2$ .

	$2$	$1$	$0$
$2$	$4$	$2$	$0$	$0$
$-$	$4$
	$0$	$2$
$-$		$2$
		$0$	$0$
	$-$		$0$

Step 13

Subtract $0$ from $0$ .

	$2$	$1$	$0$
$2$	$4$	$2$	$0$	$0$
$-$	$4$
	$0$	$2$
$-$		$2$
		$0$	$0$
	$-$		$0$
			$0$

Step 14

Bring down the next number of the dividend.

	$2$	$1$	$0$
$2$	$4$	$2$	$0$	$0$
$-$	$4$
	$0$	$2$
$-$		$2$
		$0$	$0$
	$-$		$0$
			$0$	$0$

Step 15

Divide $0$ by $2$ . Place this digit in the quotient on top of the division symbol.

	$2$	$1$	$0$	$0$
$2$	$4$	$2$	$0$	$0$
$-$	$4$
	$0$	$2$
$-$		$2$
		$0$	$0$
	$-$		$0$
			$0$	$0$

Step 16

Multiply the newest quotient digit $(0)$ by the divisor $2$ .

	$2$	$1$	$0$	$0$
$2$	$4$	$2$	$0$	$0$
$-$	$4$
	$0$	$2$
$-$		$2$
		$0$	$0$
	$-$		$0$
			$0$	$0$
		$-$		$0$

Step 17

Subtract $0$ from $0$ .

	$2$	$1$	$0$	$0$
$2$	$4$	$2$	$0$	$0$
$-$	$4$
	$0$	$2$
$-$		$2$
		$0$	$0$
	$-$		$0$
			$0$	$0$
		$-$		$0$
				$0$
