Let's divide 763492 by 42
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 763492.

Let's proceed to step 1:
42 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 76 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
76 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 42 from 76, we get 34.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 343 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
42 goes into 343 8 times with a remainder of 7.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we take 336 away from 343, we end up with 7.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 74 / 42

Step 4:
42 goes into 74 1 times with a remainder of 32.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 181.0
Deduct 42 from 74 and we're left with 32.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 329 / 42

Step 5:
329 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 35.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1817.0
Deduct 294 from 329 and we're left with 35.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 35, then repeat: 352 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
42 goes into 352 8 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18178.0
Subtracting 336 from 352 leaves us 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.

Step 7:
42 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18178.3
Subtract 126 from 160 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
340 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18178.38
Subtract 336 from 340 to get 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 9:
The number 42 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18178.38
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 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 10:
If we divide 400 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 18178.3809
If we subtract 378 from 400, 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.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 220 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18178.38095
If we take 210 away from 220, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 42 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 18178.380952
If we subtract 84 from 100, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 160 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 34.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18178.3809523
Subtracting 126 from 160 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
340 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18178.38095238
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 336 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 18178.38095238 with a balance of 4e-09.
