Let's divide 788768 by 42
We want to divide 788768 by 42.

On to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 78 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
42 can be fit into 78 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 42 from 78, we get 36.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 368 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
42 can be fit into 368 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we subtract 336 from 368, we get 32.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 327 / 42

Step 4:
If we divide 327 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 187.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 294 from 327.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 33 and continue with: 336 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 336 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1878.0
If we subtract 336 from 336, we get 0.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 8 / 42

Step 6:
42 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18780.0
Subtract 0 from 8 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.

Moving on to step 7:
42 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 38.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18780.1
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.

Step 8:
42 can be fit into 380 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 18780.19
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.

Step 9:
42 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18780.19
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 10:
200 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18780.1904
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 168 from 200.
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 11:
42 can be fit into 320 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18780.19047
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.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 260 by 42, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18780.190476
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 252 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 80 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 38.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18780.1904761
Subtract 42 from 80 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
42 can be fit into 380 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18780.19047619
If we subtract 378 from 380, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 18780.19047619 with a balance of 2e-09.
