Let's divide 766149 by 42
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 766149.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 76 / 42

On to step 2:
When dividing 76 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 34.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 42 from 76 leaves us with 34.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 34, then repeat: 346 / 42

On to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 346 8 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Deduct 336 from 346 and we're left with 10.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 101 / 42

Advancing to step 4:
42 can be fit into 101 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 182.0
If we take 84 away from 101, we end up with 17.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 174 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 174 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 6.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1824.0
Deduct 168 from 174 and we're left with 6.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 69 / 42

Moving on to step 6:
69 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 27.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18241.0
Subtracting 42 from 69 leaves us with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
270 divided by 42 is 6 with a remainder of 18.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18241.6
Subtracting 252 from 270 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 8:
180 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18241.64
Subtracting 168 from 180 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 42 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18241.642
Deduct 84 from 120 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 10:
42 goes into 360 8 times with a remainder of 24.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18241.6428
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 11:
240 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18241.64285
Deduct 210 from 240 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 300 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 6.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18241.642857
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 294 from 300.
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 13:
42 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 18.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18241.6428571
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 42 from 60.
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 14:
180 divided by 42 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 18241.64285714
If we take 168 away from 180, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 18241.64285714 with a balance of 1.2e-08.
