42706656 ÷ 259 
We want to figure out the number of times 42706656 can be divided by 259.

Advancing to step 1:
259 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 42 / 259

Going ahead to step 2:
259 can be fit into 42 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 42 and we're left with 42.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 427 / 259

On to step 3:
259 can be fit into 427 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 168.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 259 from 427 to get 168.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 168, then repeat: 1680 / 259

Advancing to step 4:
1680 divided by 259 is 6 with a remainder of 126.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtracting 1554 from 1680 leaves us with 126.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 126 and continue with: 1266 / 259

Advancing to step 5:
259 goes into 1266 4 times with a remainder of 230.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 164.0
Subtract 1036 from 1266 to get 230.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 230, then carry on: 2306 / 259

On to step 6:
2306 divided by 259 is 8 with a remainder of 234.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1648.0
Subtract 2072 from 2306 to get 234.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 234 and continue: 2345 / 259

Moving on to step 7:
259 goes into 2345 9 times with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16489.0
If we take 2331 away from 2345, we end up with 14.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 146 / 259

Going ahead to step 8:
259 goes into 146 0 times with a remainder of 146.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 164890.0
Subtract 0 from 146 to get 146.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
1460 divided by 259 is 5 with a remainder of 165.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 164890.5
Subtracting 1295 from 1460 leaves us with 165.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1650, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 1650 by 259, we get 6 and a remainder of 96.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 164890.56
If we take 1554 away from 1650, we end up with 96.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
259 goes into 960 3 times with a remainder of 183.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 164890.563
If we subtract 777 from 960, we get 183.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1830, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
259 goes into 1830 7 times with a remainder of 17.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 164890.5637
Subtracting 1813 from 1830 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
259 can be fit into 170 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 170.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 164890.5637
If we subtract 0 from 170, we get 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1700, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 1700 by 259, we get 6 and a remainder of 146.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 164890.563706
Subtract 1554 from 1700 to get 146.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1460, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
259 can be fit into 1460 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 165.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 164890.5637065
If we subtract 1295 from 1460, we get 165.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1650, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
259 goes into 1650 6 times with a remainder of 96.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 164890.56370656
If we take 1554 away from 1650, we end up with 96.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 164890.56370656 and a remainder of 9.6e-08.
