252703 divided by 42 
We want to divide 252703 by 42.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 25 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
25 divided by 42 is 0 with 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 (2) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 252 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 252 6 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 252 from 252.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 7 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 7 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 60.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 70 / 42

Step 5:
The number 42 fits into 70 1 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 601.0
Deduct 42 from 70 and we're left with 28.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 283 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
42 goes into 283 6 times with a remainder of 31.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6016.0
Subtracting 252 from 283 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 310 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 6016.7
If we subtract 294 from 310, we 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.

Advancing 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: 6016.73
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 42 fits into 340 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 6016.738
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
42 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6016.738
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead 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: 6016.73809
Subtract 378 from 400 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 220 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 6016.738095
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
100 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 6016.7380952
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.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 42 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6016.73809523
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.

The final outcome is 6016.73809523, with a leftover of 3.4e-08.
