We divide 2555142 by 461
We're looking to find how many times 461 goes into 2555142.

Step 1:
2 divided by 461 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 25 / 461

Let's proceed to step 2:
461 goes into 25 0 times with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 25 and we're left with 25.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 255 / 461

On to step 3:
When dividing 255 by 461, we get 0 with a remainder of 255.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 255 and we're left with 255.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 255, then carry on: 2555 / 461

On to step 4:
When dividing 2555 by 461, we get 5 with a remainder of 250.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 2305 from 2555 and we're left with 250.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 250 and continue: 2501 / 461

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 2501 by 461, we get 5 with a remainder of 196.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 55.0
If we take 2305 away from 2501, we end up with 196.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 196 and continue with: 1964 / 461

Step 6:
1964 divided by 461 is 4 with a remainder of 120.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 554.0
Deduct 1844 from 1964 and we're left with 120.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 120, then repeat: 1202 / 461

Advancing to step 7:
461 goes into 1202 2 times with a remainder of 280.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5542.0
The remainder is 280 after subtracting 922 from 1202.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2800, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
461 goes into 2800 6 times with a remainder of 34.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5542.6
Deduct 2766 from 2800 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
461 can be fit into 340 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 340.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5542.6
If we subtract 0 from 340, we get 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
461 can be fit into 3400 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 173.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5542.607
If we subtract 3227 from 3400, we get 173.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1730, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 1730 by 461, we get 3 with a remainder of 347.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5542.6073
Subtract 1383 from 1730 to get 347.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3470, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 461 fits into 3470 7 times, leaving a remainder of 243.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5542.60737
If we take 3227 away from 3470, we end up with 243.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2430, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
461 goes into 2430 5 times with a remainder of 125.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5542.607375
The remainder is 125 after subtracting 2305 from 2430.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1250, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 1250 by 461, we get 2 with a remainder of 328.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5542.6073752
Subtract 922 from 1250 to get 328.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
The number 461 fits into 3280 7 times, leaving a remainder of 53.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5542.60737527
If we take 3227 away from 3280, we end up with 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 5542.60737527, with a leftover of 5.3e-08.
