691276 ÷ 42 
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 691276.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 69 / 42

Step 2:
42 goes into 69 1 times with a remainder of 27.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 42 from 69 leaves us with 27.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 271 / 42

On to step 3:
When dividing 271 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 252 from 271.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 19, then repeat: 192 / 42

Let's proceed to step 4:
42 can be fit into 192 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 164.0
If we subtract 168 from 192, we get 24.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 247 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 42 fits into 247 5 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1645.0
Deduct 210 from 247 and we're left with 37.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 37, then repeat: 376 / 42

On to step 6:
42 goes into 376 8 times with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 16458.0
Subtracting 336 from 376 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.

Advancing to step 7:
400 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16458.9
Subtracting 378 from 400 leaves us 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.

Step 8:
42 can be fit into 220 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16458.95
If we take 210 away from 220, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 42 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 16458.952
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
160 divided by 42 is 3 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 16458.9523
Subtract 126 from 160 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 11:
42 goes into 340 8 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 16458.95238
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.

Step 12:
If we divide 40 by 42, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16458.95238
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.

Step 13:
When dividing 400 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 22.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16458.9523809
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 378 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
42 goes into 220 5 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 16458.95238095
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.

Our division results in 16458.95238095 with a remaining 1e-08.
