We divide 733762 by 42
Let's see how many times 42 fits into 733762.

Going ahead to step 1:
42 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 73 / 42

Step 2:
42 goes into 73 1 times with a remainder of 31.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 42 from 73 and we're left with 31.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 313 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 313 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 19.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 294 from 313 leaves us with 19.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 197 / 42

Moving on to step 4:
42 goes into 197 4 times with a remainder of 29.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 174.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 168 from 197.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 296 / 42

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 296 by 42, we get 7 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1747.0
If we subtract 294 from 296, we get 2.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 22 / 42

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 22 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 22.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17470.0
If we take 0 away from 22, we end up 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 7:
When dividing 220 by 42, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17470.5
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 210 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
42 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17470.52
Subtracting 84 from 100 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 9:
42 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 34.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17470.523
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 126 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 340 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17470.5238
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 40 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17470.5238
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 42 fits into 400 9 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17470.523809
If we subtract 378 from 400, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
220 divided by 42 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17470.5238095
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 42 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17470.52380952
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 84 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Our division results in 17470.52380952 with a remaining 1.6e-08.
