254181 divided by 42 
We want to figure out the number of times 254181 can be divided by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 25 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 25 by 42, we get 0 with 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.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 254 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 254 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 2.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 252 from 254 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 21 / 42

Step 4:
The number 42 fits into 21 0 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 60.0
Subtracting 0 from 21 leaves us with 21.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 218 / 42

Step 5:
The number 42 fits into 218 5 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 605.0
Subtracting 210 from 218 leaves us with 8.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 81 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 81 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 39.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6051.0
If we take 42 away from 81, we end up with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
390 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6051.9
If we take 378 away from 390, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
42 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6051.92
Deduct 84 from 120 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 360 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6051.928
Subtract 336 from 360 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 240 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6051.9285
If we subtract 210 from 240, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 42 fits into 300 7 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6051.92857
If we take 294 away from 300, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 42 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6051.928571
Subtracting 42 from 60 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 180 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6051.9285714
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 168 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 120 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6051.92857142
Deduct 84 from 120 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 6051.92857142, and the remainder is 3.6e-08.
