Let's divide 220751 by 42
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 220751.

Let's proceed to step 1:
42 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 22 / 42

On to step 2:
42 can be fit into 22 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 22, we end up with 22.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 220 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 220 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 210 from 220 leaves us with 10.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 107 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 107 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 23.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 52.0
Deduct 84 from 107 and we're left with 23.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 235 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 235 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 525.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 210 from 235.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 251 / 42

On to step 6:
When dividing 251 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5255.0
If we subtract 210 from 251, we get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
42 goes into 410 9 times with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5255.9
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 378 from 410.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 320 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 26.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5255.97
Subtracting 294 from 320 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
42 can be fit into 260 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5255.976
If we subtract 252 from 260, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
80 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 38.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5255.9761
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 42 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
380 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5255.97619
Subtracting 378 from 380 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 20 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5255.97619
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5255.9761904
If we subtract 168 from 200, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
42 goes into 320 7 times with a remainder of 26.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5255.97619047
If we take 294 away from 320, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

The final result is 5255.97619047 with a remainder of 2.6e-08.
