We look at the division of 42554082 by 204 
We want to divide 42554082 by 204.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 204, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 42 / 204

Advancing to step 2:
The number 204 fits into 42 0 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 42 leaves us with 42.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 425 / 204

Going ahead to step 3:
204 can be fit into 425 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 408 from 425, we get 17.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 175 / 204

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 204 fits into 175 0 times, leaving a remainder of 175.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20.0
Subtracting 0 from 175 leaves us with 175.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 175, then repeat: 1754 / 204

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 1754 by 204, we get 8 and a remainder of 122.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 208.0
Deduct 1632 from 1754 and we're left with 122.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 122, then carry on: 1220 / 204

Moving on to step 6:
204 can be fit into 1220 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 200.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2085.0
If we take 1020 away from 1220, we end up with 200.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 200, then repeat: 2008 / 204

Advancing to step 7:
The number 204 fits into 2008 9 times, leaving a remainder of 172.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20859.0
The remainder is 172 after subtracting 1836 from 2008.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 172, then repeat: 1722 / 204

Moving on to step 8:
204 goes into 1722 8 times with a remainder of 90.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 208598.0
If we subtract 1632 from 1722, we get 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 900, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
204 goes into 900 4 times with a remainder of 84.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 208598.4
If we subtract 816 from 900, we get 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
204 goes into 840 4 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 208598.44
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 816 from 840.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Our division results in 208598.44 with a remaining 0.024.
