168767 divided by 42 
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 168767.

On to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 16 / 42

Step 2:
The number 42 fits into 16 0 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 16, we end up with 16.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 168 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 168 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 0.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 168 from 168.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 7 / 42

Step 4:
7 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 40.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 76 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 76 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 401.0
Subtract 42 from 76 to get 34.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 34, then repeat: 347 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
347 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 11.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4018.0
Deduct 336 from 347 and we're left with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 110 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 26.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4018.2
If we subtract 84 from 110, we 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 8:
42 goes into 260 6 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4018.26
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 252 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 42 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4018.261
If we take 42 away from 80, we end up 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.

Step 10:
If we divide 380 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4018.2619
Subtracting 378 from 380 leaves us 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.

Step 11:
42 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4018.2619
Subtract 0 from 20 to 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.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 200 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4018.261904
Deduct 168 from 200 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 320 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4018.2619047
If we take 294 away from 320, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
42 can be fit into 260 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4018.26190476
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 252 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 4018.26190476 with a balance of 8e-09.
