253204 divided by 42 
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 253204.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 25 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 25 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 25.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 0 from 25.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 253 / 42

Step 3:
42 can be fit into 253 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 252 from 253, we get 1.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 12 / 42

On to step 4:
42 can be fit into 12 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 60.0
If we subtract 0 from 12, we get 12.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 120 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
120 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 36.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 602.0
If we take 84 away from 120, we end up with 36.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 36, then carry on: 364 / 42

On to step 6:
When dividing 364 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 28.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6028.0
If we take 336 away from 364, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 280 6 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6028.6
If we subtract 252 from 280, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 42 fits into 280 6 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6028.66
If we take 252 away from 280, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 6028.66 and a remainder of 0.028.
