254642 ÷ 5 
We want to divide 254642 by 5.

Step 1:
If we divide 2 by 5, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 25 / 5

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 25 by 5, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 25 from 25.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 4 / 5

On to step 3:
4 divided by 5 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 50.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 46 / 5

Moving on to step 4:
The number 5 fits into 46 9 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 509.0
If we take 45 away from 46, we end up with 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 5

Step 5:
The number 5 fits into 14 2 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5092.0
Deduct 10 from 14 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 42 / 5

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 42 by 5, we get 8 and a remainder of 2.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 50928.0
Subtracting 40 from 42 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.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 20 by 5, we get 4 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 50928.4
Deduct 20 from 20 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
5 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 50928.4
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 9:
5 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 50928.4
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Our division results in 50928.4 with a remaining 0.0.
