6004.14...

Explanation:

Using a calculator, you get the answer.

(42029)/7420297

You can use long division as well

You use 77 to divide each of the numbers. If it not possible, you look at the next number and read it as one number.

For instance, 77 cannot divide 44 without a remainder of 00, you write 00 or leave it blank.

Thus, you try to divide 4242 by 77 to get 66. When you do that, you get a remainder of 00.

Bring down all that is left and apply the same process.

When you get to 77 divided by 11, you put a decimal point which allows you to put a zero by the 11 and continue....

You can go on and on
