We divide 180254 by 42
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 180254.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 18 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
42 can be fit into 18 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 18, we get 18.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 180 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
42 can be fit into 180 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 168 from 180, we get 12.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 122 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 122 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 38.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42.0
Deduct 84 from 122 and we're left with 38.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 38, then repeat: 385 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
385 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 429.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 378 from 385.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 74 / 42

On to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 74 1 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4291.0
Subtracting 42 from 74 leaves us with 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 7:
320 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4291.7
If we subtract 294 from 320, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
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: 4291.76
Subtracting 252 from 260 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
42 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4291.761
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.

Step 10:
The number 42 fits into 380 9 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4291.7619
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 378 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 42 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4291.7619
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 12:
42 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4291.761904
Subtract 168 from 200 to 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.

Moving on to step 13:
42 goes into 320 7 times with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4291.7619047
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.

On to step 14:
When dividing 260 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4291.76190476
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 252 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 4291.76190476, with a leftover of 8e-09.
