254360 ÷ 42 
We want to divide 254360 by 42.

On to step 1:
42 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 25 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
42 goes into 25 0 times with a remainder of 25.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 25 and we're left with 25.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 254 / 42

Step 3:
The number 42 fits into 254 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 252 away from 254, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 23 / 42

On to step 4:
42 can be fit into 23 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 60.0
Deduct 0 from 23 and we're left with 23.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 236 / 42

Step 5:
42 can be fit into 236 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 605.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 210 from 236.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 260 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
260 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6056.0
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.

On to step 7:
If we divide 80 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 6056.1
Deduct 42 from 80 and we're left with 38.
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 8:
42 goes into 380 9 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6056.19
Deduct 378 from 380 and we're left 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.

On to step 9:
The number 42 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6056.19
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
200 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6056.1904
Subtracting 168 from 200 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.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 320 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 26.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6056.19047
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 294 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 260 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6056.190476
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
42 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6056.1904761
If we subtract 42 from 80, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
380 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6056.19047619
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.

Our division results in 6056.19047619 with a remaining 2e-09.
