761662 divided by 42 
Our goal is to divide 761662 by 42.

Step 1:
If we divide 7 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 76 / 42

Step 2:
42 goes into 76 1 times with a remainder of 34.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 42 away from 76, we end up with 34.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 341 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
42 goes into 341 8 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Deduct 336 from 341 and we're left with 5.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 56 / 42

Step 4:
42 can be fit into 56 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 181.0
Deduct 42 from 56 and we're left with 14.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 146 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
42 can be fit into 146 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1813.0
Deduct 126 from 146 and we're left with 20.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 202 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
202 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 34.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18134.0
Subtract 168 from 202 to get 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 7:
When dividing 340 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18134.8
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.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 40 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 18134.8
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.

Step 9:
400 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 22.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18134.809
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 378 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
42 can be fit into 220 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18134.8095
Subtract 210 from 220 to get 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 11:
42 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18134.80952
Subtracting 84 from 100 leaves us with 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 12:
If we divide 160 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 18134.809523
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.

Moving on to step 13:
340 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18134.8095238
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 42 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18134.8095238
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The final result is 18134.8095238 with a remainder of 4e-08.
