To find the quotient \( 4,200 \div 7 \) using the pattern you've provided, let's break it down.

1. You correctly showed the following:
- \( 42 \div 7 = 6 \)
- \( 420 \div 7 = 60 \)

2. Now, to find \( 4,200 \div 7 \):
- We can apply the same logic. Each time we add a zero to the left, we are essentially increasing the number by a factor of 10.

Thus:
- \( 4,200 \) is \( 10 \) times \( 420 \).
- Since \( 420 \div 7 = 60 \), it follows that:
\[
4,200 \div 7 = 60 \times 10 = 600
\]

Therefore, the answer is \( 600 \).
