772371 divided by 42 
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 772371.

Step 1:
42 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 77 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
77 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 42 from 77 to get 35.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 352 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
42 can be fit into 352 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtracting 336 from 352 leaves us with 16.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 163 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
42 can be fit into 163 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 183.0
Subtract 126 from 163 to get 37.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 377 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
42 goes into 377 8 times with a remainder of 41.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1838.0
Subtracting 336 from 377 leaves us with 41.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 41 and continue with: 411 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 411 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 18389.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 378 from 411.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 330 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18389.7
Deduct 294 from 330 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
42 can be fit into 360 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 18389.78
If we subtract 336 from 360, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
42 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18389.785
Deduct 210 from 240 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
42 goes into 300 7 times with a remainder of 6.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18389.7857
If we subtract 294 from 300, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 60 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 18389.78571
If we subtract 42 from 60, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 180 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 18389.785714
If we take 168 away from 180, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 120 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 36.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18389.7857142
Subtracting 84 from 120 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 14:
42 goes into 360 8 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18389.78571428
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 336 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Our division results in 18389.78571428 with a remaining 2.4e-08.
