324578 divided by 42 
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 324578.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 32 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
42 can be fit into 32 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 32, we get 32.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 32 and continue: 324 / 42

Step 3:
The number 42 fits into 324 7 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 294 from 324, we get 30.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 305 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 305 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 11.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 77.0
If we subtract 294 from 305, we get 11.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 117 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
42 can be fit into 117 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 772.0
Deduct 84 from 117 and we're left with 33.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 33 and repeat the process: 338 / 42

On to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 338 8 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7728.0
If we subtract 336 from 338, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
42 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7728.0
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.

On to step 8:
When dividing 200 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7728.04
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 168 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 320 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 26.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7728.047
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.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 42 fits into 260 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7728.0476
Subtracting 252 from 260 leaves us with 8.
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.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 7728.04761
Deduct 42 from 80 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 380 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7728.047619
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 13:
42 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7728.047619
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.

Step 14:
When dividing 200 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7728.04761904
If we take 168 away from 200, we end up 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.

After the division, we end up with 7728.04761904 and a remainder of 3.2e-08.
