\text{5 remainder 2}

3 steps

Here's how to solve $42 \div 8$ using long division:

Divide the first part of the dividend (42) by the divisor (8).
We need to find how many times 8 goes into 42 without exceeding it.
$8 \times 5 = 40$
$8 \times 6 = 48$ (This is too large)
So, 8 goes into 42 five times. Write 5 above the 2 in 42.
Multiply the quotient digit (5) by the divisor (8).
$5 \times 8 = 40$ . Write 40 below 42.
Subtract 40 from 42.
$42 - 40 = 2$ . This is the remainder.
$\begin{array}{r} 5 \\ 8\overline{)42} \\ -40 \\ \hline 2 \end{array}$
The quotient is 5 and the remainder is 2.
So, $42 \div 8 = 5$ with a remainder of 2.

You can also write this as a mixed number:
$5 \frac{2}{8} = 5 \frac{1}{4}$
Or as a decimal:
$5.25$
The long division answer is: $\text{5 remainder 2}$
