We divide 62178 by 42
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 62178.

On to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 62 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
62 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 42 from 62 leaves us with 20.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 201 / 42

Step 3:
201 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 14.0
Deduct 168 from 201 and we're left with 33.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 33, then repeat: 337 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
42 can be fit into 337 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 148.0
Subtract 336 from 337 to get 1.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 18 / 42

Moving on to step 5:
42 can be fit into 18 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1480.0
If we subtract 0 from 18, we 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 6:
180 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1480.4
If we subtract 168 from 180, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
42 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 36.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1480.42
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 84 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 360 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1480.428
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.

Step 9:
When dividing 240 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1480.4285
If we subtract 210 from 240, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
42 goes into 300 7 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1480.42857
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 60 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1480.428571
Deduct 42 from 60 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
42 can be fit into 180 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1480.4285714
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 168 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 120 by 42, we get 2 with a remainder of 36.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1480.42857142
Subtracting 84 from 120 leaves us 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.

After the division, we end up with 1480.42857142 and a remainder of 3.6e-08.
