We divide 258283 by 42
We want to figure out the number of times 258283 can be divided by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 25 / 42

Step 2:
If we divide 25 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 25.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 25 and we're left with 25.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 258 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
42 can be fit into 258 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 252 from 258 leaves us with 6.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 62 / 42

On to step 4:
If we divide 62 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 61.0
Deduct 42 from 62 and we're left with 20.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 208 / 42

Step 5:
The number 42 fits into 208 4 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 614.0
Deduct 168 from 208 and we're left with 40.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 403 / 42

On to step 6:
403 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6149.0
Subtract 378 from 403 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 250 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6149.5
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 210 from 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 400 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 22.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6149.59
If we subtract 378 from 400, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
42 can be fit into 220 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6149.595
Subtract 210 from 220 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 10:
42 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6149.5952
If we subtract 84 from 100, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
160 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 34.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6149.59523
Deduct 126 from 160 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 340 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6149.595238
If we subtract 336 from 340, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6149.595238
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
42 can be fit into 400 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6149.59523809
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 378 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Our division results in 6149.59523809 with a remaining 2.2e-08.
