We look at the division of 762428 by 42 
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 762428.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 76 / 42

On to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 76 1 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 42 from 76 to get 34.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 34, then carry on: 342 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
342 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 6.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 336 from 342.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 64 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
64 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 22.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 181.0
Deduct 42 from 64 and we're left with 22.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 222 / 42

On to step 5:
42 goes into 222 5 times with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1815.0
Subtracting 210 from 222 leaves us with 12.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 128 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
42 goes into 128 3 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18153.0
Deduct 126 from 128 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 7:
20 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18153.0
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
42 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 18153.04
If we take 168 away from 200, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 9:
42 goes into 320 7 times with a remainder of 26.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18153.047
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.

Advancing to step 10:
42 goes into 260 6 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18153.0476
Deduct 252 from 260 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
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: 18153.04761
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.

On to step 12:
42 goes into 380 9 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18153.047619
If we subtract 378 from 380, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 20 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18153.047619
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 42 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18153.04761904
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.

The final outcome is 18153.04761904, with a leftover of 3.2e-08.
