158756 divided by 42 
Our goal is to divide 158756 by 42.

Step 1:
When dividing 1 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 15 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
42 goes into 15 0 times with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 15 and we're left with 15.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 158 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
42 can be fit into 158 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 126 from 158.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 327 / 42

Step 4:
When dividing 327 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 33.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37.0
If we take 294 away from 327, we end up with 33.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 335 / 42

Step 5:
42 can be fit into 335 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 377.0
Deduct 294 from 335 and we're left with 41.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 41 and repeat the process: 416 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
416 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 38.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3779.0
Subtract 378 from 416 to 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 7:
42 can be fit into 380 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3779.9
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 20 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3779.9
If we subtract 0 from 20, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 42 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3779.904
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
42 can be fit into 320 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3779.9047
If we take 294 away from 320, we end up with 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 11:
260 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3779.90476
If we subtract 252 from 260, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 42 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3779.904761
Subtracting 42 from 80 leaves us 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.

On to step 13:
If we divide 380 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3779.9047619
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.

On to step 14:
When dividing 20 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3779.9047619
Subtract 0 from 20 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.

The final result is 3779.9047619 with a remainder of 2e-08.
