We divide 255058 by 42
We want to figure out the number of times 255058 can be divided by 42.

Moving on to step 1:
42 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in 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.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 25 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 25 0 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 25 leaves us with 25.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 255 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 255 6 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 252 from 255 to get 3.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 30 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 30 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 60.0
Subtract 0 from 30 to get 30.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 305 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 305 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 607.0
Subtract 294 from 305 to get 11.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 118 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 118 2 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6072.0
Deduct 84 from 118 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
42 can be fit into 340 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6072.8
Deduct 336 from 340 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 40 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 6072.8
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 9:
42 can be fit into 400 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6072.809
If we take 378 away from 400, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 220 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6072.8095
Subtract 210 from 220 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 100 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6072.80952
Subtract 84 from 100 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 160 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 34.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6072.809523
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.

On to step 13:
42 goes into 340 8 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6072.8095238
Subtracting 336 from 340 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 40 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6072.8095238
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us 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.

After the division, we end up with 6072.8095238 and a remainder of 4e-08.
