Let's divide 253207 by 42
We want to divide 253207 by 42.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 25 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
42 goes into 25 0 times with a remainder of 25.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 0 from 25.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 253 / 42

Step 3:
42 can be fit into 253 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 252 from 253.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 12 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
12 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 12.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 60.0
Subtracting 0 from 12 leaves us with 12.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 120 / 42

On to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 602.0
Deduct 84 from 120 and we're left with 36.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 36, then repeat: 367 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
367 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 31.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6028.0
Deduct 336 from 367 and we're left with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
310 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 6028.7
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:
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: 6028.73
If we take 126 away from 160, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 340 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6028.738
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 40 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6028.738
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.

On to step 11:
400 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 22.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6028.73809
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.

Advancing to step 12:
42 can be fit into 220 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6028.738095
If we subtract 210 from 220, we 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 13:
If we divide 100 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6028.7380952
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.

Moving on to step 14:
160 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 34.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6028.73809523
Subtracting 126 from 160 leaves us 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.

After the division, we end up with 6028.73809523 and a remainder of 3.4e-08.
