Step-by-step solution (long division)

Step 1

Look at the first digit(s) of the dividend: 4. Divide: 3 goes into 4 1 time (3 × 1 = 3). Write 1 above, then subtract: 4 − 3 = 1.

Step 2

Bring down the 2 to make 12. Divide: 3 goes into 12 4 times (3 × 4 = 12). Write 4 above, then subtract: 12 − 12 = 0.

There are no more digits to bring down. So 42 ÷ 3 = 14 exactly (remainder 0), so 3 divides 42 evenly.
