177679 divided by 42 
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 177679.

Let's proceed to 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

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 17 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 17.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 0 from 17.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 177 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
177 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 168 from 177 to get 9.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 96 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 96 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 12.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 84 from 96.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 127 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
127 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 1.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 423.0
Deduct 126 from 127 and we're left with 1.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 19 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
42 can be fit into 19 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4230.0
Subtracting 0 from 19 leaves us with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
42 can be fit into 190 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4230.4
If we subtract 168 from 190, we get 22.
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 8:
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: 4230.45
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 210 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
100 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4230.452
Deduct 84 from 100 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 160 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 34.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4230.4523
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.

Step 11:
42 can be fit into 340 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4230.45238
Deduct 336 from 340 and we're left with 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 12:
The number 42 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4230.45238
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
42 goes into 400 9 times with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 4230.4523809
Subtract 378 from 400 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 220 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4230.45238095
If we subtract 210 from 220, we 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.

The quotient of the division is 4230.45238095, and the remainder is 1e-08.
