We divide 764997 by 42
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 764997.

Moving on to step 1:
42 goes into 7 0 times with 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.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 76 / 42

On to step 2:
The number 42 fits into 76 1 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 42 away from 76, we end up with 34.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 34, then carry on: 344 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
344 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtract 336 from 344 to get 8.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 89 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
The number 42 fits into 89 2 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 182.0
If we subtract 84 from 89, we get 5.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 59 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 59 1 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1821.0
If we subtract 42 from 59, we get 17.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 177 / 42

Advancing to step 6:
42 can be fit into 177 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18214.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 168 from 177.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 90 2 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18214.2
Subtracting 84 from 90 leaves us 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.

On to step 8:
42 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18214.21
Subtract 42 from 60 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 180 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 18214.214
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.

Advancing to step 10:
42 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18214.2142
Subtract 84 from 120 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 360 by 42, we get 8 with a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18214.21428
Subtract 336 from 360 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
42 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18214.214285
If we take 210 away from 240, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
300 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 6.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18214.2142857
Subtracting 294 from 300 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 60 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 18214.21428571
If we subtract 42 from 60, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 18214.21428571 and a remainder of 1.8e-08.
