Let's divide 746096 by 42
We want to divide 746096 by 42.

On to step 1:
The number 42 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 74 / 42

Going ahead to step 2:
74 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 42 away from 74, we end up with 32.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 32 and continue: 326 / 42

Step 3:
42 goes into 326 7 times with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we take 294 away from 326, we end up with 32.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 32 and continue: 320 / 42

On to step 4:
42 goes into 320 7 times with a remainder of 26.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 177.0
Deduct 294 from 320 and we're left with 26.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 269 / 42

Step 5:
42 goes into 269 6 times with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1776.0
Subtract 252 from 269 to get 17.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 176 / 42

On to step 6:
42 goes into 176 4 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17764.0
Subtract 168 from 176 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 80 by 42, we get 1 and a remainder of 38.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17764.1
Subtract 42 from 80 to get 38.
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 8:
If we divide 380 by 42, we get 9 and a remainder of 2.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17764.19
If we subtract 378 from 380, we 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.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 42 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17764.19
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 200 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17764.1904
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
320 divided by 42 is 7 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17764.19047
If we subtract 294 from 320, we get 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 12:
42 goes into 260 6 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17764.190476
If we subtract 252 from 260, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
80 divided by 42 is 1 with a remainder of 38.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17764.1904761
Subtract 42 from 80 to get 38.
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 14:
380 divided by 42 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17764.19047619
If we take 378 away from 380, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 17764.19047619, with a leftover of 2e-09.
