We divide 42682706 by 254
Let's see how many times 254 fits into 42682706.

Step 1:
254 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 42 / 254

Advancing to step 2:
42 divided by 254 is 0 with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 42, we get 42.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 426 / 254

Step 3:
If we divide 426 by 254, we get 1 and a remainder of 172.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 254 from 426 leaves us with 172.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 172 and continue: 1728 / 254

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 1728 by 254, we get 6 and a remainder of 204.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we subtract 1524 from 1728, we get 204.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 204, then carry on: 2042 / 254

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 254 fits into 2042 8 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 168.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 2032 from 2042.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 107 / 254

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 107 by 254, we get 0 with a remainder of 107.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1680.0
Subtract 0 from 107 to get 107.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 107 and continue: 1070 / 254

Step 7:
1070 divided by 254 is 4 with a remainder of 54.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16804.0
Subtract 1016 from 1070 to get 54.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 54, then carry on: 546 / 254

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 546 by 254, we get 2 and a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 168042.0
If we take 508 away from 546, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
254 can be fit into 380 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 126.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 168042.1
Subtracting 254 from 380 leaves us with 126.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
1260 divided by 254 is 4 with a remainder of 244.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 168042.14
The remainder is 244 after subtracting 1016 from 1260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2440, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 2440 by 254, we get 9 and a remainder of 154.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 168042.149
Subtract 2286 from 2440 to get 154.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1540, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 1540 by 254, we get 6 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 168042.1496
Deduct 1524 from 1540 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.

Step 13:
The number 254 fits into 160 0 times, leaving a remainder of 160.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 168042.1496
Subtracting 0 from 160 leaves us with 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
1600 divided by 254 is 6 with a remainder of 76.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 168042.149606
Subtracting 1524 from 1600 leaves us with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
760 divided by 254 is 2 with a remainder of 252.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 168042.1496062
Subtract 508 from 760 to get 252.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
254 goes into 2520 9 times with a remainder of 234.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 168042.14960629
Deduct 2286 from 2520 and we're left with 234.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2340, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 168042.14960629 with a balance of 2.34e-07.
