42687 divided by 71 
We're looking to find how many times 71 goes into 42687.

On to step 1:
71 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 42 / 71

On to step 2:
71 can be fit into 42 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 0 from 42.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 426 / 71

Advancing to step 3:
71 can be fit into 426 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 426 from 426 and we're left with 0.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 8 / 71

Moving on to step 4:
The number 71 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 60.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 87 / 71

On to step 5:
71 goes into 87 1 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 601.0
If we subtract 71 from 87, 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.

Advancing to step 6:
71 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 601.2
If we take 142 away from 160, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
71 can be fit into 180 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 601.22
Deduct 142 from 180 and we're left 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.

The final result is 601.22 with a remainder of 0.038.
