764558 divided by 42 
We want to divide 764558 by 42.

Moving 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
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 76 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 76 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 42 from 76, we get 34.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 34 and continue with: 344 / 42

Step 3:
42 goes into 344 8 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtracting 336 from 344 leaves us with 8.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 85 / 42

On to step 4:
If we divide 85 by 42, we get 2 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 182.0
Deduct 84 from 85 and we're left with 1.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 15 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 15 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1820.0
Deduct 0 from 15 and we're left with 15.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 158 / 42

Step 6:
42 can be fit into 158 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18203.0
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 126 from 158.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 7:
320 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 26.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18203.7
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.

Step 8:
The number 42 fits into 260 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18203.76
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.

Advancing to step 9:
42 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18203.761
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 10:
If we divide 380 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 18203.7619
Subtract 378 from 380 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 11:
20 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18203.7619
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 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 12:
200 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18203.761904
If we subtract 168 from 200, we 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 13:
If we divide 320 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 26.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18203.7619047
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.

Advancing to step 14:
42 can be fit into 260 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18203.76190476
If we take 252 away from 260, 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 18203.76190476 with a balance of 8e-09.
