176668 ÷ 42 
We want to divide 176668 by 42.

Step 1:
42 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 42

On to step 2:
42 can be fit into 17 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 17 and we're left with 17.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 176 / 42

Step 3:
42 can be fit into 176 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 168 from 176, we get 8.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 86 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
42 can be fit into 86 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 42.0
If we take 84 away from 86, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 26 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 26 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 26.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 420.0
Subtracting 0 from 26 leaves us with 26.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 268 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 268 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 16.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4206.0
If we subtract 252 from 268, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
42 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4206.3
If we take 126 away from 160, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 42 fits into 340 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4206.38
If we subtract 336 from 340, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 9:
42 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4206.38
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 42 fits into 400 9 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4206.3809
Subtracting 378 from 400 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
220 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4206.38095
If we take 210 away from 220, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 42 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4206.380952
Subtract 84 from 100 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 160 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 4206.3809523
Deduct 126 from 160 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
42 goes into 340 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4206.38095238
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 336 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 4206.38095238, and the remainder is 4e-09.
