We're dividing 42729848 by 76 
We want to divide 42729848 by 76.

Step 1:
76 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 42 / 76

Step 2:
76 can be fit into 42 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 42, we get 42.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 427 / 76

On to step 3:
76 goes into 427 5 times with a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 380 from 427 leaves us with 47.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 47, then repeat: 472 / 76

Going ahead to step 4:
472 divided by 76 is 6 with a remainder of 16.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 56.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 456 from 472.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 169 / 76

On to step 5:
The number 76 fits into 169 2 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 562.0
Subtract 152 from 169 to get 17.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 178 / 76

Step 6:
178 divided by 76 is 2 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5622.0
If we take 152 away from 178, we end up with 26.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 264 / 76

Let's proceed to step 7:
76 can be fit into 264 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 56223.0
Deduct 228 from 264 and we're left with 36.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 368 / 76

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 368 by 76, we get 4 with a remainder of 64.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 562234.0
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 304 from 368.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
76 goes into 640 8 times with a remainder of 32.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 562234.8
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 608 from 640.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 320 by 76, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 562234.84
If we take 304 away from 320, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
76 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 562234.842
Subtract 152 from 160 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 80 by 76, we get 1 with a remainder of 4.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 562234.8421
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 76 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 76 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 562234.8421
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left 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 14:
If we divide 400 by 76, we get 5 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 562234.842105
If we take 380 away from 400, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
If we divide 200 by 76, we get 2 and a remainder of 48.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 562234.8421052
Deduct 152 from 200 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
If we divide 480 by 76, we get 6 and a remainder of 24.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 562234.84210526
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 456 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 562234.84210526, with a leftover of 2.4e-08.
