We look at the division of 255762 by 42 
Our goal is to divide 255762 by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 25 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 25 0 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 25, we get 25.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 255 / 42

On to step 3:
42 goes into 255 6 times with a remainder of 3.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 252 from 255, we get 3.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 37 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
42 can be fit into 37 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 60.0
If we take 0 away from 37, we end up with 37.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 37, then repeat: 376 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 376 8 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 608.0
Subtract 336 from 376 to get 40.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 402 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
402 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6089.0
Subtract 378 from 402 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
42 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6089.5
Subtract 210 from 240 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
42 goes into 300 7 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6089.57
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 294 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 60 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6089.571
Deduct 42 from 60 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
180 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6089.5714
Deduct 168 from 180 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 120 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 36.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6089.57142
If we subtract 84 from 120, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
42 goes into 360 8 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6089.571428
Subtracting 336 from 360 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 240 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6089.5714285
Subtract 210 from 240 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 300 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6089.57142857
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 294 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 6089.57142857, and the remainder is 6e-09.
