We divide 761578 by 42
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 761578.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 76 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
42 goes into 76 1 times with a remainder of 34.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 42 from 76.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 34, then repeat: 341 / 42

Advancing to step 3:
42 goes into 341 8 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we take 336 away from 341, we end up with 5.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 55 / 42

Step 4:
The number 42 fits into 55 1 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 181.0
Subtract 42 from 55 to get 13.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 137 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 137 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1813.0
Subtracting 126 from 137 leaves us with 11.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 118 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 118 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18132.0
Subtracting 84 from 118 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
42 goes into 340 8 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 18132.8
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 336 from 340.
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 8:
When dividing 40 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18132.8
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 400 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 22.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18132.809
Deduct 378 from 400 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
220 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18132.8095
If we subtract 210 from 220, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 100 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18132.80952
If we subtract 84 from 100, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 42 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18132.809523
Subtracting 126 from 160 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 42 fits into 340 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18132.8095238
Deduct 336 from 340 and we're left with 4.
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 14:
42 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18132.8095238
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 18132.8095238 with a balance of 4e-08.
