259483 ÷ 42 
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 259483.

Moving on to step 1:
42 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in 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.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 25 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
42 can be fit into 25 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 25, we get 25.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 259 / 42

Step 3:
259 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 7.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 252 from 259 and we're left with 7.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 74 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
The number 42 fits into 74 1 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 61.0
Subtract 42 from 74 to get 32.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 328 / 42

Step 5:
328 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 617.0
Subtracting 294 from 328 leaves us with 34.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 343 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
343 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 7.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6178.0
Subtracting 336 from 343 leaves us with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Step 7:
70 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 6178.1
Subtract 42 from 70 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 280 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6178.16
If we subtract 252 from 280, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 280 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 28.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6178.166
Subtract 252 from 280 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 6178.166 with a balance of 0.0028.
