256448 divided by 42 
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 256448.

Going ahead to step 1:
42 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 25 / 42

Step 2:
42 goes into 25 0 times with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 25 to get 25.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 256 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 256 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 252 from 256 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 44 / 42

Step 4:
If we divide 44 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 2.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 61.0
If we subtract 42 from 44, we get 2.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 24 / 42

On to step 5:
42 can be fit into 24 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 610.0
If we take 0 away from 24, we end up with 24.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 248 / 42

On to step 6:
When dividing 248 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 38.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6105.0
If we subtract 210 from 248, 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 380 9 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6105.9
If we subtract 378 from 380, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 20 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6105.9
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 42 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 6105.904
If we subtract 168 from 200, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 320 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6105.9047
Subtract 294 from 320 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
260 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6105.90476
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 252 from 260.
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 12:
42 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 38.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6105.904761
Subtracting 42 from 80 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 13:
42 can be fit into 380 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 6105.9047619
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.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 20 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6105.9047619
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left 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.

The quotient of the division is 6105.9047619, and the remainder is 2e-08.
