We divide 177659 by 42
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 177659.

Going ahead to step 1:
42 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 17 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 17.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 17, we end up with 17.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 177 / 42

Step 3:
The number 42 fits into 177 4 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 168 from 177 to get 9.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 96 / 42

On to step 4:
42 can be fit into 96 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42.0
If we take 84 away from 96, we end up with 12.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 125 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
42 goes into 125 2 times with a remainder of 41.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 422.0
Subtracting 84 from 125 leaves us with 41.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 41 and repeat the process: 419 / 42

On to step 6:
419 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 4229.0
Subtracting 378 from 419 leaves us with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 410 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 32.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4229.9
If we take 378 away from 410, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 320 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 26.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4229.97
If we subtract 294 from 320, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 260 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4229.976
Deduct 252 from 260 and we're left with 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 10:
42 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4229.9761
Subtracting 42 from 80 leaves us 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.

Step 11:
380 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4229.97619
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 378 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
42 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4229.97619
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 200 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4229.9761904
Deduct 168 from 200 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 42 fits into 320 7 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4229.97619047
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 294 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 4229.97619047 with a balance of 2.6e-08.
