761609 divided by 42 
We want to divide 761609 by 42.

On to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 76 / 42

Moving on to step 2:
42 can be fit into 76 1 times, resulting in 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.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 34, then repeat: 341 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
341 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 5.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 336 from 341.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 56 / 42

On to step 4:
When dividing 56 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 14.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 181.0
If we subtract 42 from 56, we get 14.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 140 / 42

Step 5:
When dividing 140 by 42, we get 3 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1813.0
Deduct 126 from 140 and we're left with 14.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 149 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
42 can be fit into 149 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18133.0
Subtracting 126 from 149 leaves us with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 230 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 18133.5
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 210 from 230.
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 8:
When dividing 200 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18133.54
If we subtract 168 from 200, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
42 can be fit into 320 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18133.547
Subtract 294 from 320 to 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.

Moving on to step 10:
42 goes into 260 6 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18133.5476
If we subtract 252 from 260, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 80 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 38.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18133.54761
If we take 42 away from 80, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
380 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18133.547619
If we take 378 away from 380, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
42 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18133.547619
If we subtract 0 from 20, we 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
42 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18133.54761904
If we take 168 away from 200, 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.

After the division, we end up with 18133.54761904 and a remainder of 3.2e-08.
