642442 ÷ 76 
Our goal is to divide 642442 by 76.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 6 by 76, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 64 / 76

On to step 2:
76 can be fit into 64 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 64, we end up with 64.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 64, then repeat: 642 / 76

Step 3:
When dividing 642 by 76, we get 8 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 608 from 642 to get 34.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 344 / 76

Going ahead to step 4:
76 can be fit into 344 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 84.0
Deduct 304 from 344 and we're left with 40.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 404 / 76

Moving on to step 5:
The number 76 fits into 404 5 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 845.0
If we subtract 380 from 404, we get 24.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 242 / 76

Advancing to step 6:
242 divided by 76 is 3 with a remainder of 14.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8453.0
Deduct 228 from 242 and we're left with 14.
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 7:
When dividing 140 by 76, we get 1 with a remainder of 64.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8453.1
Subtract 76 from 140 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 76 fits into 640 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8453.18
Subtract 608 from 640 to get 32.
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 9:
The number 76 fits into 320 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8453.184
Subtracting 304 from 320 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 160 by 76, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 8453.1842
Subtracting 152 from 160 leaves us 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.

Step 11:
76 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8453.18421
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 76 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 76 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8453.18421
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 13:
76 can be fit into 400 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8453.1842105
Deduct 380 from 400 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 14:
76 goes into 200 2 times with a remainder of 48.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8453.18421052
Deduct 152 from 200 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 8453.18421052 with a balance of 4.8e-08.
