We divide 42984541 by 254
Let's see how many times 254 fits into 42984541.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 254, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 42 / 254

Moving on to step 2:
254 goes into 42 0 times with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 42, we get 42.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 429 / 254

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 429 by 254, we get 1 with a remainder of 175.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 254 from 429 and we're left with 175.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 175, then repeat: 1758 / 254

Advancing to step 4:
The number 254 fits into 1758 6 times, leaving a remainder of 234.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we subtract 1524 from 1758, we get 234.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 234, then carry on: 2344 / 254

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 2344 by 254, we get 9 with a remainder of 58.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 169.0
If we subtract 2286 from 2344, we get 58.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 58, then repeat: 585 / 254

Advancing to step 6:
The number 254 fits into 585 2 times, leaving a remainder of 77.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1692.0
Subtract 508 from 585 to get 77.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 77, then carry on: 774 / 254

On to step 7:
774 divided by 254 is 3 with a remainder of 12.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16923.0
Deduct 762 from 774 and we're left with 12.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 121 / 254

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 254 fits into 121 0 times, leaving a remainder of 121.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 169230.0
If we subtract 0 from 121, we get 121.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1210, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
254 can be fit into 1210 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 194.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 169230.4
Subtracting 1016 from 1210 leaves us with 194.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1940, and continue the process.

Step 10:
254 can be fit into 1940 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 162.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 169230.47
If we subtract 1778 from 1940, we get 162.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1620, and continue the process.

Step 11:
1620 divided by 254 is 6 with a remainder of 96.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 169230.476
Deduct 1524 from 1620 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 12:
254 goes into 960 3 times with a remainder of 198.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 169230.4763
Subtract 762 from 960 to get 198.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1980, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 254 fits into 1980 7 times, leaving a remainder of 202.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 169230.47637
Deduct 1778 from 1980 and we're left with 202.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2020, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
254 can be fit into 2020 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 242.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 169230.476377
If we subtract 1778 from 2020, we get 242.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2420, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 169230.476377, with a leftover of 2.42e-05.
