We divide 777993 by 42
Our goal is to divide 777993 by 42.

On to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 77 / 42

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 77 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 35.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 42 away from 77, we end up with 35.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 35, then repeat: 357 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
42 goes into 357 8 times with a remainder of 21.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Deduct 336 from 357 and we're left with 21.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 219 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
42 goes into 219 5 times with a remainder of 9.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 185.0
If we take 210 away from 219, we end up with 9.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 99 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
99 divided by 42 is 2 with a remainder of 15.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1852.0
Subtracting 84 from 99 leaves us with 15.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 153 / 42

Step 6:
42 goes into 153 3 times with a remainder of 27.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18523.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 126 from 153.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
270 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18523.6
Subtract 252 from 270 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 180 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18523.64
Deduct 168 from 180 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 120 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 36.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18523.642
Deduct 84 from 120 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 42 fits into 360 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18523.6428
Deduct 336 from 360 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
42 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18523.64285
Subtracting 210 from 240 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 300 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18523.642857
Deduct 294 from 300 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
60 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 18.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18523.6428571
Subtract 42 from 60 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 42 fits into 180 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18523.64285714
If we take 168 away from 180, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 18523.64285714, with a leftover of 1.2e-08.
