767859 ÷ 42 
We want to divide 767859 by 42.

Step 1:
When dividing 7 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 76 / 42

Step 2:
42 can be fit into 76 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 42 from 76, we get 34.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 347 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
42 goes into 347 8 times with a remainder of 11.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Deduct 336 from 347 and we're left with 11.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 118 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 118 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 34.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 182.0
Subtract 84 from 118 to get 34.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 34 and continue with: 345 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 345 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 9.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1828.0
Subtracting 336 from 345 leaves us with 9.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 99 / 42

On to step 6:
When dividing 99 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 15.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18282.0
Subtracting 84 from 99 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 150 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 24.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18282.3
Subtract 126 from 150 to 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.

Advancing to step 8:
240 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18282.35
Subtracting 210 from 240 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 42 fits into 300 7 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18282.357
If we take 294 away from 300, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 60 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18282.3571
Subtracting 42 from 60 leaves us with 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 11:
If we divide 180 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18282.35714
Deduct 168 from 180 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
120 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 36.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18282.357142
If we take 84 away from 120, we end up 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.

On to step 13:
360 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18282.3571428
Deduct 336 from 360 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 42 fits into 240 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18282.35714285
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.

Our division results in 18282.35714285 with a remaining 3e-08.
