6004.14...

Explanation:

Using a calculator, you get the answer.

(42029)/7

You can use long division as well

You use 7 to divide each of the numbers. If it not possible, you look at the next number and read it as one number.

For instance, 7 cannot divide 4 without a remainder of 0, you write 0 or leave it blank.

Thus, you try to divide 42 by 7 to get 6. When you do that, you get a remainder of 0.

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

When you get to 7 divided by 1, you put a decimal point which allows you to put a zero by the 1 and continue....

    0 6 0 0 4  .   1 4
    -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

7 ) 4 2 0 2 9

    -4 2

     0 0 0 2 9

             - 2 8

     -- -- -- -- --

                   1 0

                    -7

    -- -- -- -- -- --

                     30
                    -28

   -- -- -- -- -- -- --                       
                       2

You can go on and on
