177164 divided by 42 
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 177164.

Step 1:
When dividing 1 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 42

On to step 2:
42 goes into 17 0 times with a remainder of 17.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 17, we end up with 17.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 177 / 42

Going ahead to step 3:
177 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 9.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 168 from 177 and we're left with 9.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 91 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
42 goes into 91 2 times with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 42.0
If we take 84 away from 91, we end up with 7.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 76 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
42 can be fit into 76 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 421.0
Subtracting 42 from 76 leaves us with 34.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 344 / 42

On to step 6:
42 can be fit into 344 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4218.0
If we take 336 away from 344, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4218.1
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 42 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
380 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4218.19
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:
If we divide 20 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4218.19
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us 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:
If we divide 200 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4218.1904
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 42 fits into 320 7 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4218.19047
If we take 294 away from 320, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
260 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4218.190476
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
80 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 4218.1904761
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 42 from 80.
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:
If we divide 380 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4218.19047619
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.

Our division results in 4218.19047619 with a remaining 2e-09.
