42182462 ÷ 254 
Our goal is to divide 42182462 by 254.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 254, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 42 / 254

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 254 fits into 42 0 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 42, we get 42.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 42 and repeat the process: 421 / 254

Advancing to step 3:
254 can be fit into 421 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 167.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 254 from 421, we get 167.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 167, then repeat: 1678 / 254

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 1678 by 254, we get 6 with a remainder of 154.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we take 1524 away from 1678, we end up with 154.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 154, then carry on: 1542 / 254

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 1542 by 254, we get 6 and a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 166.0
Subtract 1524 from 1542 to get 18.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 184 / 254

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 254 fits into 184 0 times, leaving a remainder of 184.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1660.0
If we subtract 0 from 184, we get 184.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 184 and continue with: 1846 / 254

Step 7:
254 can be fit into 1846 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16607.0
If we subtract 1778 from 1846, we get 68.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 68 and repeat the process: 682 / 254

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 682 by 254, we get 2 and a remainder of 174.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 166072.0
Deduct 508 from 682 and we're left with 174.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1740, and continue the process.

Step 9:
1740 divided by 254 is 6 with a remainder of 216.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 166072.6
If we take 1524 away from 1740, we end up with 216.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
254 can be fit into 2160 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 128.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 166072.68
If we subtract 2032 from 2160, we get 128.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
1280 divided by 254 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 166072.685
Subtracting 1270 from 1280 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
254 goes into 100 0 times with a remainder of 100.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 166072.685
If we take 0 away from 100, we end up with 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1000, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 1000 by 254, we get 3 with a remainder of 238.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 166072.68503
Subtract 762 from 1000 to get 238.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2380, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
2380 divided by 254 is 9 with a remainder of 94.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 166072.685039
The remainder is 94 after subtracting 2286 from 2380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 940, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
The number 254 fits into 940 3 times, leaving a remainder of 178.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 166072.6850393
Deduct 762 from 940 and we're left with 178.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1780, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
254 can be fit into 1780 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 166072.68503937
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 1778 from 1780.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 166072.68503937 with a balance of 2e-09.
