We look at the division of 42992117 by 177 
We're looking to find how many times 177 goes into 42992117.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 177, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 42 / 177

Moving on to step 2:
177 can be fit into 42 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 0 from 42.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 42 and repeat the process: 429 / 177

Step 3:
429 divided by 177 is 2 with a remainder of 75.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 354 from 429 and we're left with 75.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 75 and continue: 759 / 177

Going ahead to step 4:
177 goes into 759 4 times with a remainder of 51.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24.0
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 708 from 759.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 51, then carry on: 512 / 177

On to step 5:
177 goes into 512 2 times with a remainder of 158.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 242.0
If we subtract 354 from 512, we get 158.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 158 and continue with: 1581 / 177

Advancing to step 6:
The number 177 fits into 1581 8 times, leaving a remainder of 165.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2428.0
If we take 1416 away from 1581, we end up with 165.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 165 and continue: 1651 / 177

Going ahead to step 7:
177 can be fit into 1651 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24289.0
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 1593 from 1651.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 58, then carry on: 587 / 177

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 587 by 177, we get 3 and a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 242893.0
Deduct 531 from 587 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 560 by 177, we get 3 with a remainder of 29.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 242893.3
Subtract 531 from 560 to get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
290 divided by 177 is 1 with a remainder of 113.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 242893.31
If we subtract 177 from 290, we get 113.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1130, and continue the process.

Step 11:
177 can be fit into 1130 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 242893.316
If we take 1062 away from 1130, we end up with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 680 by 177, we get 3 with a remainder of 149.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 242893.3163
Deduct 531 from 680 and we're left with 149.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1490, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 1490 by 177, we get 8 with a remainder of 74.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 242893.31638
Deduct 1416 from 1490 and we're left with 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
740 divided by 177 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 242893.316384
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 708 from 740.
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 15:
177 goes into 320 1 times with a remainder of 143.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 242893.3163841
Deduct 177 from 320 and we're left with 143.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1430, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
If we divide 1430 by 177, we get 8 and a remainder of 14.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 242893.31638418
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 1416 from 1430.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 242893.31638418 with a balance of 1.4e-08.
