42062801 ÷ 178 
We're looking to find how many times 178 goes into 42062801.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 178, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 42 / 178

Let's proceed to step 2:
178 can be fit into 42 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 42 and we're left with 42.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 420 / 178

Let's proceed to step 3:
178 can be fit into 420 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 356 from 420, we get 64.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 64, then repeat: 646 / 178

Let's proceed to step 4:
646 divided by 178 is 3 with a remainder of 112.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23.0
Deduct 534 from 646 and we're left with 112.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 112 and continue with: 1122 / 178

Let's proceed to step 5:
178 goes into 1122 6 times with a remainder of 54.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 236.0
Deduct 1068 from 1122 and we're left with 54.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 54 and continue with: 548 / 178

Let's proceed to step 6:
178 can be fit into 548 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2363.0
If we subtract 534 from 548, we get 14.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 140 / 178

On to step 7:
140 divided by 178 is 0 with a remainder of 140.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23630.0
Deduct 0 from 140 and we're left with 140.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 140 and continue: 1401 / 178

Going ahead to step 8:
1401 divided by 178 is 7 with a remainder of 155.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 236307.0
Subtract 1246 from 1401 to get 155.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1550, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 178 fits into 1550 8 times, leaving a remainder of 126.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 236307.8
Deduct 1424 from 1550 and we're left with 126.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1260, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
178 can be fit into 1260 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 236307.87
If we take 1246 away from 1260, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 178 fits into 140 0 times, leaving a remainder of 140.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 236307.87
Subtract 0 from 140 to get 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1400, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 1400 by 178, we get 7 and a remainder of 154.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 236307.8707
The remainder is 154 after subtracting 1246 from 1400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1540, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 1540 by 178, we get 8 and a remainder of 116.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 236307.87078
Subtract 1424 from 1540 to get 116.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1160, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 1160 by 178, we get 6 and a remainder of 92.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 236307.870786
The remainder is 92 after subtracting 1068 from 1160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 920, and continue the process.

Step 15:
178 goes into 920 5 times with a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 236307.8707865
Deduct 890 from 920 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.

Advancing to step 16:
300 divided by 178 is 1 with a remainder of 122.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 236307.87078651
Subtracting 178 from 300 leaves us with 122.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1220, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 236307.87078651 with a balance of 1.22e-07.
