We look at the division of 763701 by 42 
We want to figure out the number of times 763701 can be divided by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 76 / 42

Step 2:
If we divide 76 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 34.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 42 from 76 to get 34.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 343 / 42

Step 3:
42 goes into 343 8 times with a remainder of 7.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtracting 336 from 343 leaves us with 7.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 77 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
42 can be fit into 77 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 181.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 42 from 77.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 35, then repeat: 350 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
350 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1818.0
Subtract 336 from 350 to get 14.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 141 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
42 goes into 141 3 times with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 18183.0
If we take 126 away from 141, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
150 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 18183.3
If we take 126 away from 150, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 8:
42 can be fit into 240 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18183.35
Subtract 210 from 240 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
42 goes into 300 7 times with a remainder of 6.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18183.357
Deduct 294 from 300 and we're left 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:
42 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18183.3571
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.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 180 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18183.35714
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 168 from 180.
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 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: 18183.357142
If we subtract 84 from 120, we 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.

Step 13:
42 goes into 360 8 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18183.3571428
If we take 336 away from 360, we end up 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:
42 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 18183.35714285
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.

The final result is 18183.35714285 with a remainder of 3e-08.
