We divide 205201 by 42
Our goal is to divide 205201 by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 20 / 42

On to step 2:
42 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 205 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 205 4 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 168 from 205, we get 37.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 372 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
42 goes into 372 8 times with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 48.0
Subtracting 336 from 372 leaves us with 36.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 36, then repeat: 360 / 42

On to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 360 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 488.0
If we subtract 336 from 360, we get 24.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 241 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 241 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 4885.0
Subtract 210 from 241 to get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 310 7 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4885.7
Deduct 294 from 310 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
160 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 34.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4885.73
Deduct 126 from 160 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.

Moving on to step 9:
42 can be fit into 340 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4885.738
If we take 336 away from 340, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 10:
40 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4885.738
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 400 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 22.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4885.73809
Subtracting 378 from 400 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 42 fits into 220 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4885.738095
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 210 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 13:
100 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4885.7380952
Deduct 84 from 100 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 14:
42 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 34.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4885.73809523
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 126 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 4885.73809523 with a balance of 3.4e-08.
