782189 divided by 42 
We want to divide 782189 by 42.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 78 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 78 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 36.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 42 from 78 and we're left with 36.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 362 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 362 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 26.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18.0
Deduct 336 from 362 and we're left with 26.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 261 / 42

Step 4:
42 can be fit into 261 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 186.0
Subtract 252 from 261 to get 9.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 98 / 42

Step 5:
42 goes into 98 2 times with a remainder of 14.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1862.0
If we take 84 away from 98, we end up with 14.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 149 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
149 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 23.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18623.0
Deduct 126 from 149 and we're left with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
42 goes into 230 5 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18623.5
Subtract 210 from 230 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 42 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18623.54
Deduct 168 from 200 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
42 goes into 320 7 times with a remainder of 26.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18623.547
Subtract 294 from 320 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
42 goes into 260 6 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18623.5476
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 252 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 11:
42 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18623.54761
If we subtract 42 from 80, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 380 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18623.547619
If we take 378 away from 380, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
42 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18623.547619
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 14:
200 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18623.54761904
If we subtract 168 from 200, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The final result is 18623.54761904 with a remainder of 3.2e-08.
