42046779 ÷ 157 
Let's see how many times 157 fits into 42046779.

Moving on to step 1:
4 divided by 157 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 42 / 157

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 42 by 157, we get 0 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 42 and we're left with 42.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 42 and repeat the process: 420 / 157

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 420 by 157, we get 2 with a remainder of 106.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 106 after subtracting 314 from 420.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 106 and continue with: 1064 / 157

Step 4:
When dividing 1064 by 157, we get 6 with a remainder of 122.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 26.0
Subtract 942 from 1064 to get 122.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 122, then carry on: 1226 / 157

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 1226 by 157, we get 7 with a remainder of 127.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 267.0
If we subtract 1099 from 1226, we get 127.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 127, then repeat: 1277 / 157

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 1277 by 157, we get 8 and a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2678.0
Subtract 1256 from 1277 to get 21.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 217 / 157

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 217 by 157, we get 1 with a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 26781.0
Deduct 157 from 217 and we're left with 60.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 60, then repeat: 609 / 157

Step 8:
157 goes into 609 3 times with a remainder of 138.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 267813.0
Deduct 471 from 609 and we're left with 138.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 157 fits into 1380 8 times, leaving a remainder of 124.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 267813.8
If we subtract 1256 from 1380, we get 124.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
1240 divided by 157 is 7 with a remainder of 141.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 267813.87
If we take 1099 away from 1240, we end up with 141.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1410, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 1410 by 157, we get 8 and a remainder of 154.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 267813.878
Subtracting 1256 from 1410 leaves us with 154.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1540, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
157 goes into 1540 9 times with a remainder of 127.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 267813.8789
If we subtract 1413 from 1540, we get 127.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1270, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
157 goes into 1270 8 times with a remainder of 14.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 267813.87898
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 1256 from 1270.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
157 can be fit into 140 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 140.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 267813.87898
Subtract 0 from 140 to get 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
157 can be fit into 1400 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 144.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 267813.8789808
The remainder is 144 after subtracting 1256 from 1400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1440, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
157 can be fit into 1440 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 267813.87898089
Deduct 1413 from 1440 and we're left with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Our division results in 267813.87898089 with a remaining 2.7e-08.
